Hello! So i successfully sleep trained my now 5 month old using CIO and before anyone comes at me ferber and pick up put down did not work as it made him cry/scream worse than CIO.
My baby now goes to sleep without fuss and only wakes up 1-2x per night where i feed him only once during those wakeups. Hes had a few nights where hes slept with no wakeups.
For naps i currently assist to sleep where i just lay him on my chest, no rocking or butt pats, and he goes to sleep. After 10 mins i lay him in his crib where he may sleep for 40 mins and then i go in and help him finish the nap to minimum an hour.
This obviously eats up a lot of my time as he has 2 hour naps and his last nap we cap at 30 mins. I really want him to atleast independently fall asleep so where do i start? We tried CIO for nap training once and stopped once he started having negative associations with his crib but now that he his a month older maybe itll be easier? Is there a method better suited for nap training?
