[quote=Anonymous]To OP:

While naps and nighttime can be trained separately, it would be very difficult for you to have a completely different approach for naps than parents use nights/weekends with no crying allowed.  Before going to all that trouble, I would talk to the parents about their plans for the future.  If they plan to cosleep long-term, then creating a cosleeping scenario for naps (either wearing baby in a carrier or laying with her on the floor) is probably the way to go.  If they were hoping to phase it out at some point, I would encourage them to choose a sleep-training approach now, because at age one you should be working on dropping bottles, switching to cow milk, etc., which makes adding an extra transition around that age tough, and if you wait until all of those transitions are done it will be time to manage the 2-1 nap transition and then potty training--basically if they plan to train at some point, now is the time to start because the toddler years are full of transitions and are a much harder time to train.[/quote]
