If you let DC CIO...
Did you do it for naps also or just at night?
We are on night 4 & nights are getting better but naps are getting worse.
I was still going to rock her to sleep for the naps because she used to go to sleep pretty easy but now she just stares at me & won't sleep (after a 5min screaming fit which is normal for her.)
When I tried to put her in her crib & let her cry, it was over an hour & she wouldn't nap.
She wasn't even crying too much just sitting in there.
How did this work for you during the day?

Re: If you let DC CIO...
We did it for naps and bedtime. Some days were hit or miss. Now she pretty much goes right down for both. She still may fuss a minute or two, but nowhere near as long as she used to.

Re: If you let DC CIO...
For all of my kids I started with bedtime the first time. Then followed through with naps the next day.

CIO for naps never worked for dd. she's almost 2 and I still Rick/rub her back for naps. Nighttime worked like a charm.

Keep trying! My girls still take much longer to fall asleep for naps and we did CIO about 2 months ago. I find that music def helps the napping process.

Re: If you let DC CIO...
Started w/bedtime, then moved onto naps. It was too much for me to do it all at once.

Re: If you let DC CIO...
These naps are killing me!
I know it's bad but today I threw her in the car seat & drove around because I just couldn't deal with her fighting me for an hour & a half to take a 45 minute nap.
I don't know what to do.
Maybe she's dropping her morning nap.
Yesterday she only had one nap & it was a BAD day!
She was so tired but wouldn't go to sleep at 9 for her first nap so she never took it.
She had a 2 hour nap from 11-1 but from 4 until bedtime she was miserable.
I think she needs more then one nap but I don't know how to get her to fall asleep or if I should force her.

I force them! If the pack n play won't work I try the swing. It helps if I leave them in the swing and walk out of the room. Eventually I think they fall asleep out of boredom! I also let them have blankets during their naps. i think it helps them snuggle better. I check on them constantly to make sure they aren't smothering themselves.
