We did 5 minute checks as needed. She caught on very quickly- like, within a day. She's 9 months now and has days where she fights naps. I generally give it 30 minutes and if it's not happening, I play quietly with her and try again. The best thing I can recommend is trying to figure out what the appropriate awake time should be. Good luck, I know it's tough. We had to hold our daughter for all of her naps before we trained and I obsessed over her sleep. Sleep training is rough on everyone but so worth it for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-handle-nap-training#post-2107541 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 13:40:37 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2107541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sleep trained night and nap at the same time. Starting at 9 weeks maybe? I let her cry for 20-30 mins and if she wasn't sleeping, I'd just rock her to sleep. I would pump while I put her down for her nap, so I couldn't pick her up. Eventually, she started falling asleep before I finished pumping.</p> <p>How long did it take? I don't really remember, but maybe a couple weeks. It got better within a couple days, but it felt like forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-handle-nap-training#post-2107441 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 12:44:36 +0000 Littlebit 2107441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else nap train? I need HALP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-handle-nap-training#post-2107440 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 12:44:22 +0000 Littlebit 2107440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littleredhairedgrl: Poor girl! And poor mama! I hope she figures it out soon :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-handle-nap-training#post-2107439 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 12:43:56 +0000 Littlebit 2107439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CakeLady: I hear you. Our naps are a disaster (always have been) and he's waking an hour early every day. His sleep sucks. He's a super happy content baby, so I'm lucky in that aspect but this sleep stuff is crappy. I have high sleep needs and this ISN'T working for me!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-handle-nap-training#post-2107369 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 11:34:52 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 2107369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>urgh we started 2 weeks ago and A is on her second nap of sitting up and crying.. hoping she falls asleep soon.</p> <p>How old was your LO? - 9 months (7 corrected)<br /> What was your plan? (ex. how long did you leave, did you do checks, what did you do during checks, etc.) - i will let her cry for 20-30 min without checks (i can see her on her video monitor) bc if i check and she sees me it's even worse.<br /> What did you do if the nap failed? (ex. start over in an hour? Let them nap however they could to make up the time?) - i try to wait till the next nap. usually she will fall asleep eventually.. today seems to be a different story<br /> How long did it take to nap train? - it's been 2 weeks, and was really good. since she started being able to get up to sitting on her own it's been pretty rough. the last few days have been hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-handle-nap-training#post-2107309 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 10:45:52 +0000 CakeLady 2107309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following! Every aspect of sleep for DS is a disaster these days. I'll take any advice I can get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-handle-nap-training#post-2107301 Fri, 13 Mar 2015 10:38:43 +0000 Littlebit 2107301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have some questions for those of you that nap trained! </p> <p>How old was your LO?<br /> What was your plan?
