It only 2 days of naps for them to get it and go down on their own. Night training took several attempts for both kids, but DS was easier than DD. looch on "Was nap training harder than night time training?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-nap-training-harder-than-night-time-training#post-2059319 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 07:23:31 +0000 looch 2059319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We had to nap and night train at the same time.

It was really tough. It took eleven, but it worked! Three nights ago I decided to night train and it's been so much easier. Nap training brought me my sanity back! No regrets. lady grey on "Was nap training harder than night time training?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-nap-training-harder-than-night-time-training#post-2059155 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:29:54 +0000 lady grey 2059155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Naps took about a month for us. Since I was a mostly SAHM at the time and with LO almost all the time, the crying would really stress me out. He was taking three naps then. So I would usually do the first nap in the crib and the other two either in the car or push him in the stroller for at least an hour. After a month I could put him in his crib every time with no crying. He still sleep great at 20mo! Stick with it mama!

Like only 5 minutes at night and I remember he cried off and on for 45 minutes at nap. Eventually, he got it. But naps are also tougher cus im never sure when the nap is over. Sometimes he sits up and cries for 10 minutes and then lays back down. Other times, he cries for 10 and is done napping and is pissed that I didn't already come get him :bummed: blackbird on "Was nap training harder than night time training?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-nap-training-harder-than-night-time-training#post-2058941 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 18:55:55 +0000 blackbird 2058941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Night training took a week. I think naps took a month or two more (thanks daycare, for nap training! By 8 months, I think she was going down consistently twice a day, though. I can't remember when we started to be able to set her down and walk away and that be that, though Meridian on "Was nap training harder than night time training?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-nap-training-harder-than-night-time-training#post-2058898 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 17:57:21 +0000 Meridian 2058898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Wow, I didn't realize nap training is THAT much harder, that worries me... argh! :bummed: Corduroy on "Was nap training harder than night time training?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-nap-training-harder-than-night-time-training#post-2058712 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 13:41:40 +0000 Corduroy 2058712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We sleep trained at 4 months successfully. We tried nap training in earnest five or six times but it didn't work until LO weaned at 17 months. I don't know if it was weaning or age.

It was hard! Then when we decided to do nights, it was much easier than I thought it'd be. 4.5 month old wakes up 1x a night.

We just rolled with the crappy naps. (E's only good naps were in our arms at that age.) He only started napping regularly in his crib. after about 8 or 9 months. Probably only a handful of times that he did a true twice a day nap. He's a great night sleeper, though, so we figured we'd cut our losses. regberadaisy on "Was nap training harder than night time training?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-nap-training-harder-than-night-time-training#post-2058693 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 13:16:16 +0000 regberadaisy 2058693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Up until 4 nights ago DD 2 (5.5m) took all naps and slept at night in her swing. I was growing increasingly anxious about getting her out of the swing. And her night sleep was soooo crappy. I was lucky to get a 2 hr stretch and most were one hour with a couple 45m thrown in. :shocked: Anyway, after 4 nights there is none to minimal crying and she goes 2-4 hr stretches which is pretty good in my book! But nap times are not improving! She is crying for 20 and only napping for 20! Her average nap is 1-1.5 hours. Was it harder for you to nap train? How much longer did it take?
