I recently sleep trained my LO w/CIO. I am drained but she's doing great, sleeping 730-730 w/a 530 wakeup to feed.
I've still been nursing to sleep for naps.
Today she was so tired and ready for her nap. She nursed but would not go all the way to sleep. I needed to use the bathroom and let the dog out. I was getting exhausted from trying to get her down so I took a chance and just dropped her in the crib, knowing she was fed/clean/tired. She cried on and off for 30 mins, dozing here and there. Obviously I was hoping she'd fall asleep in less than a minute like she does for bed. After 30 minutes, she woke up for good screaming her face off so I just went and got her.
I also realized that I am not ready to nap train, bc I'n still too emotionally drained from sleep training.
Do you think that this little experiment is going to confuse her or affect her sleep training? Does nap training typically mess with night sleep?
She's been doing AWESOME and I dont want to screw it up! My husband comes home after being gone 3 weeks today- I want her to go down as painless as possible and STAY DOWN!!!
