Hi. I read your response in a previous post about napping.  What is the pick up/put down method?  Never heard of it.  Thanks!!

    You put them in their crib drowsy but awake. The more drowsy,IMO, the better.

    They fuss for about 5 mins (my version), you pick them up and soothe them for a min or two. They fuss for 5 mins, you pick up and soothe.

    After about 10 or so total mins of crying, I try something else. I know we are going nowhere after 10 total mins.

    I kept this up and today, she goes down in a couple mins and I get several small naps from her. It is better than no naps. She knows I am still there cause I come to soothe her.

     

    The baby whisperer wrote about this technique and I think I just made my own version of it.
