We've been at this sleep training for a while now, and we have had a ton of success. I think in total it's about a week and a half that we have been doing it. So far he now sleeps every nap, going down with no crying at all. And, he now sleeps for at least 40-55 minutes a nap. Some naps he is still waking up tired, which shows he should be sleeping slightly longer, but we are going to work on that. The other awesome thing is that with him now sleeping longer and better, as it is in his crib, he ends up taking fewer naps every day now. He used to be having anywhere from 6-9 catnaps a day, and now he's down to 4, 5 maybe if he has too short of a nap for one of them.
So anyway, we are quite optimistic about it, and are hoping to eventually have him sleeping even longer per nap(ideally an hour to an hour and a half), with less naps, maybe only three if we can. The results are just so phenomenal, I honestly can't believe how far he has come compared to how he was two weeks ago. It's also amazing the amount of stuff we can get done now while he naps, and how I'm not embarrassed when people either come over or we go out, and I can't put him down for a nap or he would scream. I am so proud of him. The best part of all is how happy he is when he wakes up. He always is smiling when I walk in his room and starts moving his arms and legs like mad when he sees me.
I'll update again to see if we continue to progress to our ideal(fingers crossed!).
