single nap

NowDNAtoo

I have just recently switched DS to a single nap because his two naps were getting shorter.  For several days his single naps were only lasting about 40-50 minutes.  The past two days he slept for 1.5 hours and now he just woke up after being asleep for 30 min. and is crying.

I know 30-40 min. isn't long enough.  What do I do to try and get him to sleep longer for those single naps?  When we got him off of the multiple wake ups per night we had to do a cold hard CIO because the checking in doesn't work for him.

When he wakes up, give him 10-15 mintues before going in there. He may settle himself down and go back to cleep. I know how frustrating this is though. If it were me I would not go in there unless you have to or you realize there is no way he is going back to sleep.

and I know this is all easier said than done. Good luck!
