We had sleep trained DS at 14 months and he was STTN in his crib at 8 nights. It was rough obviously so we postponed nap training. Up until now for naps he either nursed to sleep with me on my mattress on the floor or when with DH or my mom they stroll him to sleep. He is now turning 20 months in a few days. I've read that motion is not supposed to be good quality sleep and I'm going back to work. The past five days I've been trying to nap train him in the crib and it is way harder than night time training. Every day the crying is getting longer and the sleeping duration is shorter. Today the crying when I put him in crib was 52 min, then sleeping for 30 min, then crying 25 min, sleeping 40 min, then I gave up so when he woke again and stood up calling for me I took him out before he started to cry. I don't know if I can handle it much longer and I only have a week left before work. My mom will be watching him and does not believe in CIO so she will not continue the training if he's not done by the time she starts. Wwyd - continue training or give up and if so, do you have any unconventional nap ideas? She has tried laying with him on my mattress giving him a bottle of bm but he just laughs at her and plays around on the mattress. I don't know if there is a way for him to nap there with her or if there is something else we can try I'm not thinking of. If you got this far reading thanks - sorry it's so long!
