[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 6 month old is getting used to putting himself to sleep - which he has done very few times. He is happy to be in his crib, and it takes him a good long while until he gets upset about being in there. For example, today:

I put him in there at 12:19. For a solid hour, he's happy as a clam. He starts to fuss, and I let him for a bit (10 min). Now it is 1:30. I go in and rock him, he goes to sleep. I put him down in teh crib, he wakes up. I let him fuss for a bit 5 min. This routine we do 3 times. It is now about 1:50 or so. DH says go to the store and I'll continue this routine. I leave. It doens't work, he finally puts him in the Rock n Play and rocks him to sleep. Kid is finally asleep at 3:00 or so. And he's still sleeping, and it is 4:00.

So - the afternoon nap is basically going to take 5 hours when it is all said and done. Is this what you did? I can't see how he'll learn if he doesn't just hang out in the crib at nap time, and I figure eventually, he'll get the picture and go to sleep. But, with all the waiting, and rocking, and putting him back down, etc, he is then way overtired and then really won't settle himself because we've missed the sleep window!

Help. [/quote]

I’d just feed him and put him down at 12:19 and come back an hour later.  [/quote]
