[quote=Anonymous]10-15 minutes of crying mid-nap is great. Don't disrupt a good thing by going in there and disrupting her natural sleep patterns. Don't you sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and shuffle around before falling back asleep? That's what she's doing, albeit more vocally. It sounds like she's able to calm herself down, which is exactly what you're looking for. I can understand why the nighttime one is harder. 45-60 minutes feels like a very long time at night. The fact that she's able to go back to sleep without working herself up too much is a good thing, and I think it reinforces that you're on the right track. But, I don't think you should feel obligated to go full-extinction. Have you tried just going in there briefly to rub her back/head (without picking her up) to see if that calms her down? [/quote]
