Sleep Regression

Posting again😬... this 4 month sleep regression is hitting us hard, particularly for naps. My son refused to go down in his crib for a second nap, and I refused to hold him to sleep for a morning nap because we’ve been working on this for a loooooong time, so we tried for the second nap again just now and it was a MESS, so he’s sleeping on me now🤦‍♀️

Moms who are currently going through this - how do you manage the “try again later” strategy (ie not reinforcing holding for all naps) with an overtired baby who then is WAY tired for a nap, therefore making it very difficult to take a nap and nearly impossible to implement the “fall asleep in your own” (or at the very least sleep on your own) training? Since this regression began, it seems to be getting more difficult by the day! I’m spending *at least* 20 minutes to get him to fall asleep in his crib every. single. time. this past week.
