My 6 month old DD usually only has 30-minute naps. After reading some of the other posts I realised that maybe I’ve been putting her down UT so I’m now trying to increase her A times so that she could make the 3-2 transition. In the meanwhile, I’ve been using W2S though not very successfully. Sometimes it seems to work but more often than not, she either wakes while I’m patting her or wakes as soon as I stop, or wake entirely.
I would rather use W2S than PU/PD to extend naps because, for one, it’s easier and secondly, if left unattended for too long, my 2 year old DS would either get into mischief or come upstairs to get me so I really need W2S to work.
Has anyone used W2S to extend naps and has it worked? If she wakes after 30 minutes, when should I do W2S?
As I write, DD has just woken after 30 minutes as usual. This is after W2S 20 minutes into her nap. Help!!
