Ferber for naps only...not night time...question?

I would like to attempt Ferber method when my DS is old enough but the thing is I only need to do it for naps on the weekends...so I am wondering if that would even work because during the week, he naps at daycare so they do their thing and I don't really have to deal with it.  And night time is not an issue...he drinks his last bottle and is basically already asleep by the time the bottle is finished and gets laid right down and he stays down with no issues.

So really, its only naps and only the weekends.  I just wonder if this is too infrequent and that if he would just forget the training during the week and i'd have to keep starting over every weekend. 

Hopefully that made sense. It would just be so nice for weekend naps to be able to lay him down awake to take a decent nap.

    I just wanted to say that I started Ferber for bedtime and naps yesterday, and I can't believe the improvement! It hasn't even been 24 hours since we started and she's already putting herself to sleep within 10 minutes (one of her naps she didn't even
