Tevye is 11 months old. Only now have we begun sleep training him.
Yes, we previously had established a nap schedule and a regular bedtime, and that works fine for the most part. the problem is sometimes it took far too long to put him down.
Like nearly an hour. 
It shouldn’t take that long to put a baby down for nap.
So we have (and by that I mean myself, because I’m the parent staying at home while Laura works) begun sleep training Tevye. This is supposed to be a relatively simple procedure, and to a certain extent it is. The idea is to put him down while he is drowsy, but not fully asleep.
In the past we have always fed him and walked him then put Tevye in the crib after he has fallen asleep. On the occasions when he wasn’t completely out it was so close that it just took a couple of minutes patting him while in the crib before leaving. Now that has changed.
The last week or so instead of going on with the whole of the process which could last anywhare between 20 minutes and an hour I don’t spend more than about 20 minutes. By then he is usually about as settled as he is going to so I put him in the crib. This is a fluid schedule, sometimes it takes less time, sometimes more.
How is it going?
Poorly.
Putting him to bed at night we do the more “normal” method of putting Tevye to bed so that he isn’t crying while kids are doing their homework. During morning and afternoon naps, however, it is a different story. Using the new routine I wind up putting him down in the manner he is supposed to be and he does not like it at all. He protests. Loudly.
If he cries, hard, for too long I go in and get him. That has only happened a couple of times. Mostly he protests for a while and the last couple of days he has fallen asleep. Instead of getting the 2 hour naps he used to he might be getting in an hour, depending on how long he protests and when he wakes up.
It is a tough process but in the end it will be worth it, both for him and me.
