We never could nap train. 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.

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.

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

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!

We had to nap and night train at the same time.
