I have both an exersaucer and the Jump A Roo for my 7 mnth old son. He likes the exersaucer and LOVES the Jump A Roo !!! The Johnny Jump Up isn't as sturdy as the Jump A Roo. He goes crazy in it and will bounce for 1.5 hours. He wears himslef out in it and naps like a rock. It's also easy to transport if you go away for a few days too. When I decided not to swaddlemy son any more I just made the swaddle looser and looser until all I had to do was put a light blanket over him. He fussed for about a week, then it was over it. CIO didn't work for us at all. My son screamed and became so upset he vomited multiple times. After the second night of it we stopped. We also tried PU/PD, that didn't work either. I had the same reaction as you did with your son. What I started doing was patting/rubbing his back and shushing him. It worked. Now I can put him in his crib drowsy, or even awake, and he'll babble or chew on his pacifier til he falls asleep. We a have a routine. He has a bath the same time every night. With in a week or two we had the rest of our day on a routine as well, give or take an hour or so. Like everyone has said, you know your baby best. If you think CIO is what will work, then go for it. If not, go to plan B.
