Nope. Didn't work. The day naps sorted themselves out around 15-16 months. Glad I didn't drive myself crazy persisting all that time. They do it when they're good and ready.
She's still really young Dusty. If it's working, then great, but if not, let it go. It's just extra work for you
I agree. It's so tough hon and I completely understand (I went through hell with DD's day sleeps until 6 months!) but sometimes you stress yourself out more by trying to help them resettle. I honestly believe they often work these things out on their own.

Our DD started having awesome day sleeps at 6 months and we haven't looked back since. The story was very different for the first 6 months though. I wore DD in a sling A LOT and she had most of her day naps 'on the go' (in the sling, the pram or car). I stressed myself out no end trying to get her to sleep in her cot during the day only to be completely shattered when she woke after just 30 minutes, or she didn't sleep at all!! We tried a hammock as well (we bought a Hushamok Hammock) which worked wonders for about 4 weeks but that was it. We even went to 'sleep school' twice to see if the 'experts' could help with her day sleeps. Both times we were sent home earlier as DD had 'beaten' them, LOL.

I don't know what changed but one afternoon at 6 months she slept for 30 minutes in her cot without much fuss. The next morning she slept for 2.5 hours Besides a couple of random days when she's been sick or teething, she's been consistent. Ironically, her night sleeps were awesome until 6 months and then they went a bit awall around that time. I figure I can't have it all!

Good luck hon. It is very trying at times but it's also amazing how our little bubbas find their groove all on their own eventually.

Oh, before I forget, your DD could possibly be going through a Wonder Week (there is one around 12 weeks) and the next one (around 20 weeks) is really tough so often babies are quite unsettled between the two growth spurts.

Hugs! It does pass and it does get a lot easier!!
