Hi Janelle,

I think it is much too soon to even consider a CIO method. You are still very early in the transition process. For us, it seemed like at least 2 to 3 months before there could be any semblance of "normal" routine. I think your baby is still trying to learn to trust you, to trust that their needs will be met. Lack of sleep is very hard on the baby, so you might see more than 2 naps a day, and they can be short. My older one never took any naps over an hour until after he was down to 1 a day. If you are able to do it, consider wearing him as much as possible throughout the day. Then, if he sleeps in the carrier/wrap, he'd be getting more rest.

Lack of sleep is also hard on mommy, so make sure you are taking care of yourself, too!
