Nap Time when CIO isn't an Option

My little guy has been an amazing sleeper from the beginning. Around 4 months he started taking 12 minute naps so I started following the 2 hours up, 2 hours down schedule. It worked perfectly until now. He is 6 months old and has recently gone back to 2 30 minute naps per day. I have tried everything. I have no problem with crying it out but it doesn't work for him. He will literally just lay in bed and cry for 2+ hours. I even tried CIO with 5 minute and 15 minute checks. I am starting to lose my mind... any suggestions?

    Is he teething?? My LO was taking great naps 1-2 hours twice a day. But in the last couple weeks his teeth haven't come it but he seems very bothered and I think that's why his naps are shorter. So I have been giving him some teething tablets before naps and bedtime and it seems to help.

    My baby is the same way. Try going for walks and having more tummy time. Basically try to tire him out :).

    @blondee4685‌ I think it is teething. I gave him some Tylenol before his afternoon nap and he slept the whole 2 hours. Hallelujah. Thanks ladies!
