They are napping and ds is crying and I am wondering maybe he pooped or something. It is one of those times that is really getting to me. I would hate to go in and have him end his nap because I went in but if I don't he might end it anyway.
I set a time limit -- well, it's really the end-of-my-rope limit for screaming! If there's nothing wrong, I'll say goodnight again and put them back down. Only 15 minutes is how long I can stand it. Usually doesn't go that long.
I think it depends what you are comfortable with. The true CIO is to not go in at all. I know many here have been successful with a modified version of that but we had to do CIO without going in
If the crying doesn't stop after 15 min. I do go in and check to make sure nothing is wrong. If everything is okay and I think they should still be napping I will put them back down.
I was a little less strict about not going in at naptimes for some odd reason! I never went in at night. I think it's ok to go in and check, as long as you come right back out, once you know everything is ok.
I give it a time limit of 10 min - if they're still crying after 10 min then I know the nap is over or something is wrong
