I have a 1 year old (14 months) who wakes up about 40 min after nap starts and cries. Mom warned me when he started that sometimes he wakes up a little early and cries, but to leave him for a few minutes because he often falls back asleep.

Now we're 4 weeks into care and he does just that. He wakes up, cries as if he's done and if I leave him long enough he falls back asleep. He does this a few times during his nap.

I have white noise on in his room and the room is dark. He sleeps alone, I've tried to mimic home as much as I can.

Any suggestions on how to get this little guy a good 2 hours of uninterupted sleep?
