We started nap training with Weissbluth's Extinction method today. For LO's first nap she cried for an hour but started quietly whimpering near the end so we waited an additional 10 min and she fell asleep for about 15 min and then woke up =(
So we got her up, and then waited about an hour and just put her down again for her next nap. Am I doing this right?
This is what her schedule for today looks like so far:
7:34 am - woke up
9:25 am - in crib and cried for 72 (!!!) min
10:37 am - 10:54 am - asleep
12:20 pm - in crib and crying as I type
We survived sleep training last night (woke up 3 times and cried about an hour each!)
If she cries another hour for her second nap, am I supposed to do the same thing and wait another hour to attempt nap #3 and then an early bed time?
My heart is breaking, but I know this is for a greater good.
ETA: LO is 7.5 months
