We use a lovey and the same exact routine for bedtime and naps, so I think that helped! Have you tried a lovey? </p> <p>(Staying asleep for more than a sleep cycle, however, we were never able to "nap train" on - that came more naturally and consistently around 8-9mo.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sleep-trained-for-bedtime-first#post-2292471 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 12:21:21 +0000 winniebee 2292471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always gave a bottle before naps until we weaned from the bottle at 14m. So I guess actually we nap trained then?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sleep-trained-for-bedtime-first#post-2292452 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 11:57:45 +0000 BabyTsMom 2292452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After we sleep trained for bedtime only, we continued to hold LO for all naps for about another month or so. I then "nap trained" but it was pretty uneventful because I think by then he knew how to fall asleep. I did let him CIO a few times but it wasn't as horrible as I was expecting, thankfully. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sleep-trained-for-bedtime-first#post-2292308 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 09:35:27 +0000 MamaChin 2292308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sleep trained at 6 months, then a few weeks later I just tried the crib and he went right to sleep just like nighttime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sleep-trained-for-bedtime-first#post-2292271 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 09:04:25 +0000 Corduroy 2292271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sleep trained DD at 16 weeks. We tried nap training 4 or 5 times starting about a month after that and it never took. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sleep-trained-for-bedtime-first#post-2292159 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 08:06:53 +0000 erinbaderin 2292159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We chickened out for so long that eventually my son sleep trained himself for naps. He was fine on bedtime but we'd rock him to sleep for naps, and then one day he just pointed at his crib and we thought "Hmmm....this will never work" but we put him in there and he just went right to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-sleep-trained-for-bedtime-first#post-2292152 Wed, 16 Sep 2015 08:02:21 +0000 ineebee 2292152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you sleep-trained for bedtime first and waited on naps until later, when did you decide to implement sleep training for naps? Did you wait until bedtimes were pretty solid, or something else? What was the interval between starting sleep-training for bedtime and then naps? </p> <p>DS is almost 6mo and we started sleep training about a week and a half ago. The past two nights have been awesome- only a few minutes of crying when I put him down and then dream feed and then he wakes around 6:30am and I had a thought as I was just putting him down, "Hm! Maybe I'll start sleep training for naps! Right now! But then chickened out and gave him the paci. </p>
