Ive been having a struggle with Dex and his naps. He's very consistant i will say, Here's how it goes....If he's not already asleep after a bottle I put him in bed. He'll play a bit, then when he realizes im not coming back he'll cry. Now , this is the point when everyone says " let him cry it out" well, what they don't know is that every single time, without fail, he's pooped. Obviously, I cannot let him Sit in crap for his nap, i mean, would YOU want to? I didn't think so. After changing him I would hold him, and most the time he'd fall asleep in my arms within a minute. Today, he didn't fall asleep in my arms after the changing of the poop. I put him in his bed, he played for about 20 minutes before fussing. He cried on and off but then....after about 45- 50 minutes he fell asleep...still grasping his toy hanging off the side of the crib.
This may be a "whatever" thing for you but for us, it's a huge victory. Especially considering yesterday he cried for an hour after only having a 25 minute nap. Im not a huge fan of CIO method, but in my own adaptation it has worked for today. We shall see how it goes. Once naps are conquered, nighttime and eliminating his night bottle will be up. That should be fun. Not.
