almost 5 month old DS has done shrot naps since forever. I currently do w2s for his naps, and have done that for about 2 months. We used to have more sucess, but now it seems like only 1 out of his 3 naps for the day are extended due to w2s. for some of his w2s naps he will wake up even earlier than if I hadn't done it/
i don't have luck with holding through the jolts, because it is not the jolts that wakes him up, he just thrashes around in his crib.
what I currently do is as soon as he wakes from a short nap, and puthim in the sling and am able to get him to knock out for another 45. I had read somewhere about a mom doing this but putting her LO in a swing.l He doesn't seem to have any problems goign down to sleep independently, so I don't think this is a problem. But I am sick of doing it. i initially started it because I wanted DS to get into teh habit of sleeping long stretches, but it doesn't seem to have helped in the long run.
should i just let him take his 45. min nap and let him figure it out on his own, no w2s and no sling?
His current A time is 1 hr 50 min. which I think I am pretty spot on with what he needs.
