stupid question, i know but my LO never naps.  was a 20 min catnapper.  so now that we are doing somethings and teaching her to soothe she is napper much longer.  for example, a 45 to a 1 1/2 naps.  this is a whole new world to me..

when do i give up on letting her try to self soothe.  i wish i knew her "length" of napping but we arent there yet.

    I know the nap is over when DS wakes up and is just staring at the ceiling or talking to himself. If he wakes up crying, the nap isn't over.

    I usually wait at least 10 minutes to go get him, even if I think he's really awake. That way if there is some slim chance he'll fall back asleep he can do that or he'll have a few minutes to wake up quietly.
