[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did sleep training at 8weeks with the Pediatrician's blessings. DC was gaining weight steadily, and passed that x lbs mark (can't remember what it was).  We also put DC on a nap/feeding schedule, and it was like night/day.

I would highly advise a schedule and keeping to it as much as possible.[/quote]

You probably sleep trained for nights. Naps are a whole different story and a different part of the brain. You CANNOT nap train an eight month old. It cannot be done. It is abusive (and this is from someone who sleep trains full CIO at four months on the dot).

OP you sons wake times are too short. A two month old can stay up for more than 60 minutes. He's probably waking up because he's not tired enough.

PLEASE PLEASE for the love of god try some of these other methods first. Hire a doula. Drive around. Hire a sleep consultant. Do not resort to Ferber. [/quote]

OP here. I go by his cues and he gets tired around 60 mins. Most feast here said babies his age can stay awake for 1hr 15 minutes but he will get overtired. I tried doing that and he was very upset and inconsolable. I think he gets tired because he isn’t getting quality naps. Sometimes he is fussy and crying 30 or 45 minutes after a nap. He will be yawning and then start fussing. I have tried different awake times and it doesn’t matter. He will get more upset though if I go over 60 minutes because he is yawning around that time.
