we are in the middle of sleep training our 7 month old using Ferber method. He has figured out the nights and falling asleep independently. However, we find ourselves in this awful cycle.

good night sleep -> awful day sleep -> bad night sleep -> good day sleep

I have tried bouncing, rocking, stroller to save these short naps and 95% of the time it doesn’t work.

When putting him down for these naps most of the time it is HARD. I’ll take a break for 15/20 minutes and try again and no dice, not even remotely sleepy.

Is this just a middle of the trenches thing and it‘ll click for him eventually?

two naps 3/3/4 usually
