How Long Do You Let 7 Month Old Cry At Nap Time?

Routine is key, follow it as much as possible. Lights out, play music and say goodnight… check back in every 5-15 min, no eye contact say night night lay them back down. Day by day/week by week it will get easier. If you can get parents on board, even better!! You're at a good age now.. I think it gets harder the older they are.

Good luck!

It's amazing how I can sleep train DCK's like a pro and my own kids I had a hard time with. My first 3 slept well who all went to a home daycare but my last 3 didn't who I was a SAHM with. LOL

He's spoiled.
Lay him down earlier and let him CIO.
Not fun but it works.

:confused: No, legally... according to my regulations... 20 minutes then get him down. Infant regs, until 12 months. That is as straight an answer as it gets.

The question in the OP was "what do you do"... not what should I do.

There were loads of RAD and "delayed" babies that grew up in daycares that propped bottles and left them in cribs all day to prevent them from touching one another. Many parents still have to be warmed up to their infants being placed on the floor to play. It will take a generation or two for it to sink in. Our regs are knee jerk from that era.

Ok, I should have read the question better.

We don't have the 20 minute rule here. It's much more vague than that. I usually go in after 6 or 7 minutes the first time, then 8 or 9, etc.

It's always one extreme or another, eh? They're either AP'd or their "RAD". We totally lack any common sense sometimes, it seems.
