Ugh, do I wake her?

I'm normally all for 'let sleeping babies lie', but Sierra took two, 2 hour naps today (which never happens - usually it's 30-60mins on average per nap) and is currently 45 minutes into her 3rd nap - and it's 6pm. She typically goes to bed no later than 7:15pm...

.... should I wake her up to feed her and give her a bath? I wonder if she's having a little growth spurt... but I really don't want to get up at 3:30am for the day if I just leave her be for the night!

If she has slept 45 min, I would wake her. Thats a decent late day nap, especially with such good naps early in the day. I know in that situation, DS wouldnt go to bed until probably 7:30-8:00pm but I think going to bed a little late would be better than not sleeping the full night.

yes, i would wake her and do your normal bedtime routine so she knows it's "night-time"... good luck! naps after 5 always stress me out!

If it's a later afternoon nap, I usually decide that I'll wake DS up if he's still sleeping at x time (usually it'll be when an hour's gone by). Anyhoo, he usually goes about 2+ hours between naps, but not as long in the afternoon/evening until bedtime, so even late naps aren't that big of a deal..
