[quote=Anonymous]My baby is 3 now so this was a long time ago, but I remember the biggest hurdle of nap training was to connect to the second sleep cycle and it was at some bizarrely specific minute, like 47 minutes or something. Knowing this, I'd go into the room around 45 mins wait for him to wake screaming, not pick him up but just immediately gently reinforce it was still time to sleep by helping him lay back down and rubbing his back until he was back down to very very drowsy and then I'd leave the room. In the beginning he'd cry at that moment for maybe like 10 minutes, but then would stop and sleep....I only went in after 30 mins of crying and then declared nap time was over. But after a week or so of that routine he started connecting that cycle on his own. Eventually I got 2 cycles out of him for naps (but he never napped anywhere but his blackedout room with a sound machine in his crib....so I was chained to the house for a long time).[/quote]
