If she's happy to sleep in her swing I say go with it. I have the same problem lately where if I put P down he will wake up. But I have found that if I swaddle him then he will go off to sleep within 5mins and generally has a 2hr+ sleep.
Don't feel like she has to sleep in her cot during the day. I was actually told not to do that as that should be where he associates night time sleeps, so the advice is always different. P usually sleeps on the floor on a rug/blanket and it works for us.
my dd who is 9 months (so dont know if this helps) she usualy only falls asleep ON me, the minute i think of putting her down she wakes. sometimes i can sneak her onto the couch next to the dog, or into my bed, but thats if im lucky, i dont even make it as far as her cot, get in her bedroom door and shes up laughing!
with the boys, if i put a hot water bottle in there bed befor lying them down theyd be less likely to wake (pre-warmed so it wasnt such a shock of a cold bed..) i would do this with dd, but we never get that far!
hope this helped.
day sleeps were all over the place here until around 6 months. DS changed so many times in regards to what worked. he had a lot of sleeps in his pram bassinet & from somewhere around 4.5-5 months he wanted to sleep on me (i miss our joint afternoon naps now!)...i had one sling but DS didn't like it but if we're lucky enough to have #2, then i think i'd like a close carrier
My opinion is do what works for you at the moment lol. My bub always slept in her rocker during the day it wasnt til just before 5months i started putting her in her cot for naps. She wwouldnt have huge sleeps and was so hard to get her to nap so I just left her there if she fell asleep or put her down there so i could rock her again if she stirred.
