Update from OP
I've stopped the paci useage, baby falls asleep easily now but still won't sleep past the 30 minute mark. He startles awake and then works himself up to screaming within a minute and obviously nap is over at that point as parents don't want CIO until 8 or 9 months (as oer their pediatrician). Worst part is...mom said he took 3 1-2 hour naps at home yesterday. Ugh! What am I doing wrong???? I've never had so much trouble with an infant before. He just does not want to sleep here.
Any other suggestions?- Flag

I feel like no matter what I will fail because I cannot match what DCM is doing at home.- Flag

Maybe you could get a smaller one and keep it at your house. Reuse it for other kiddos.
So kids like to feel the "weight" of a blanket on them. But we cant give them blankets, so the sleep sack is a good option.
A few providers on here swear by them- Flag

Any providers from MA know if we're allowed to use them here?- Flag

We are discouraged from using them here because a baby can over heat. And that's a risk factor for SIDS. I've never had the privilege of having a cold natured child or daycare child but I guess it would work for them.
The new baby I have gets to hot even swaddled with the lightest receiving blanket. Matter of fact any clothes warmer than a onesie and he gets too hot. My daughter was the same way. And my house is kept 72 degrees.- Flag
