First off...I know that in my state you would get into trouble for letting an infant sleep in a swing. It's tempting just to get him to sleep, but it's not safe.
It's hard, but put him in a crib/pnp and let him cry. There is no easy solution...it's just something the baby has to learn. He will learn...it just takes some longer than others. Good luck!
