sleep/nap training advice?

Question

My two month old will only nap being rocked on me, and at night he will only sleep with me, I have no problem with co sleeping or rocking him to sleep, but I am a little ready for a break and my 4 year old and the house needs some attention. ...he's still so little but any advice for some gentle sleep training like if I just keep rocking and laying him down will he eventually nap?? lol 
I'm going to buy blackout curtains for his room move the rocker in there, and maybe a sound machine and just work with him everyday but I know it will be hard every time I lay him down anywhere, he wakes up! I've tried him on his tummy, swaddle everything it's not that simple I need real sleep training advice! I need a break at some point!

Answer

Best book that helped us is "healthy sleep habits, happy child". My baby is 6 weeks and sleeps through the night except for feedings and just started napping in his crib. They do provide some sleep training you can do as early as 2 mos. I got book off amazon.

Answer

If you are wanting to sleep train 4-6 mo this is the "magic time" where it is suppose to be the easiest. My first child slept thru the night from birth we had to force him to wake to eat. My second was a terror. He would only sleep on my chest or attached to a breast. At 5 months I started to sleep train. Expecting it to be a screaming fit but nope. He would wake for a couple minutes. Cry. Then put himself back to sleep. We then started at nap time putting him in his crib "tired" but not asleep and he would do the same. Cry a couple minutes then pass out. Was surprisingly easy.

Answer

I think it's still to early to do the sleep training. You can try to find a book on it which would probably be best but I was told not to till around 6 months. I tried earlier and it made the situation worse, he was upset and overtired because he hadn't learned how to self soothe yet. You could just get a carrier and wear him around to get things done. Or we had a bassinet that vibrated and would always turn it on to put him to sleep when he was that young. It also rocked. Maybe try getting something like that for him that will comfort him and keep him calm enough to nap for a few hours
