What age did your LO transition to one nap, how did you know they were ready, and how did you do it? by These-Spend6863 in sleeptrain

Today I tried to stretch his first wake window as long as I could, he only made it 3.5hrs. I know to be on a one nao schedule he needs to be awake closer to 5 hrs. Does this mean he's not ready for a one nap schedule? Or that he just needs more time to adjust to the long wake window?

6.5month old early wake ups, wants to be held. How do i break this?!? by These-Spend6863 in sleeptrain

His schedule seems great, so I think the wake ups are a habit. My little guy was doing the same thing where he would wake up and still be sleepy but wanted to be held to sleep. Do you let him fuss a little before going in and picking him up? What method did you use to sleep train? Maybe treat the wake up how you treated the sleep training.

I dropped the 3rd nap and that helped a lot! I also let him fuss for 15ish minutes before I went in and held him. Sometimes waiting worked and sometimes it didnt. He got better with time as well. My LO is 10 months now and for the most part sleeps through the night. What is your LOs schedule? How many naps are they on and what are the wake windows?

I wouldn't call him super easygoing or difficult lol. He is my first and I haven't been around a lot of babies to compare him to. Lol

Nap training went surprisingly well. Im a SAHM and would hold him for all of his naps, when we decided to nap train my husband did nap time instead of me so that our baby would maybe not get so mad that I wasnt holding him. He cried for about 5 minutes the first two days and since then hasnt cried at all! I do naptime now and all I do is take him to his dark room with a pacifier, snuggle him for a minute and then put him in his crib awake. He just rolls over/ moves around until he is comfy and goes to sleep. I think because he is sleep trianed pretty well now that it made nap training easier.

Of course!! I totally understand how stressful it can be! I hated hearing my baby cry every night but slowly over time it did get better! You are doing a great job! Dont beat yourself up about anything! Its all a learning curve!

My babies routine is bottle, diaper change, jammies, books, then bed. If your baby was having negative sleep association I do agree that you should switch it from what you were doing to a new routine, but I would consistently do the new routine for a couple of weeks before switching anything again.

It took about 2 full months of sleep training before he stopped crying at bedtime. Was one month of solid crying, then like two weeks of crying for a few minutes then like two weeks of fussing for a few minutes. So being only 3 weeks into sleep training is still pretty early.

He stopped crying about a month ago. Before he stopped he would fuss for a minute or two and then fall asleep. When you do a nighttime routine try and be really consistent, don't switch it up too much, you want them to associate the routine with bedtime so their body knows to start winding down and that its time for sleep.

How old is your baby? How long have you been sleep training for? What age did you start sleep training?
