MyLO is almost 8 months old. About a month ago I started letting her settle at night on her own, she takes anywhere from 30 to 1 hour to settle (I thought the time would decrease as she got used To it?). Ne how I want to start nap training but am worried about WTs and how long it takes her to settle, I don't want her to get OT. She has been a short napper since the 4 month sleep regression, and takes 3 30 min assisted naps right now. She wakes up happy most of the time and is generally a happy baby, she had colic, and still suffers with bad gas. She gives sleep ques anywhere from 1.5-2.5 hours after her short naps but in order to keep routine I settle her at 2.5 hours. The few times I've tried to let her settle on her own it's like this. Sleep ques.. Bring her to bed after short WD fusses and fights for 1 hour, sleep for at most 30 mins sometimes less!! I think it's because after all that struggle and a longer than usual WT she is now OT and sleeps poor? So am I supposed to anticipate that she will take 30 plus mins to settle and bring her to bed before sleep ques even happen, and with this won't she just be UT? Ahh I need help
