I'm not against sleep training, but that seems early, particularly for naps. I think naps don't really consolidate until 6 months....we mostly wore her for naps at that age, and it worked well (she would take pretty long ones in the front pack). Maybe start trying a gentle schedule? I started doing a nap every two hours at that age, and it helped a lot.

Same as @Silva, I'm all for sleep training but not for naps at that age. I did 2 Isis sleep consults and they said naps get easier around 5.5-6 months. Night sleep is always the best place to start for sleep training, and 3 months is the absolute youngest I would go for that.

I also think it's on the early side. I think we started "nap training" (i.e., just swaddling and putting in her crib to see what would happen) around 4 months. it was actually way easier than I thought it would be.

We aren't nap training our almost 4 month old, but we ARE encouraging him to nap in the crib during the day. He's outgrown the rock n' play (he's a really big boy) so I don't really like the idea of him napping on the couch or the floor. He also usually takes at least one nap in his stroller. Right now his daytime sleeping is so all over the place that we're waiting until it starts to consolidate a little before doing any real training.

@jetsa: no worries! 4 months will come soon enough

I started putting her in her crib for naps, but still nursing to sleep at about 2 months or so. At 3.5 months I started putting her down awake for her morning nap which worked great..... Until this week when she hit 4 months. Now I do whatever I can to get her to sleep...wearing her, holding her, driving around in the car....ugh.
