Napping Update

I need some thoughts from some fellow mamas and papas.


Here is where we are at with napping.  Little Hob, in the last few days, has decided that naps are okay but mostly only as long as he's being held.  Papa Hob and I were set to begin sleep training with him this week using the Sleepy Planet "Sleepeasy Solution" but now I am questioning whether or not to begin it since he is beginning to sleep.  Is sleeping while being held okay for now and we can transition out of it later or am I creating a bad habit that will have to be broken later on down the road?  I see my options as


a)  Discontinue holding him while he naps and dive into the Sleepyeasy Solution method.


b)  Keep doing what I'm doing and transition slowly to less time being held while sleeping and more time laying in his crib while sleeping.  


Right now I'm leaning toward "b". Based on your own experiences-what do you think?
