Time Between Last Nap and Bedtime

URMySunshine77

I think that teething is throwing off DS's bedtime. He has been waking up between 5-6 a.m. and he used to wake up at 7:30. I tried to put him to bed earlier last night, but it seemed to make everything worse. To his credit, he naps like a pro during the day.

Could you share the timeframe between your LO's last nap and bedtime? I was under the impression that they can't go for more than four hours, but I think he can probably go five hours.

TIA!

For us, it's between 3.5-4.5 hours. It depends on how long of a second nap he takes.

4 or 5 hours.

Thank you so much, ladies! It sounds like teething is really screwing up many of our schedules.

she can go 6ish hours but it's not always pretty.  She's always up from nap at daycare 1/1:30 and goes to bed at 7.

Yesterday we were out so she was up from 12 to 7!  She got a little cranky but she made it.

When he was still napping in the infant room  at DC he napped 12-3/3:30 and then went to bed 7/7:30 so 4-4.5 hours.  
Then he started to transition to the toddler room, he's napping and doing "well" but is only getting a 2 hour nap, and he's a beast by 6/6:30.  I'm still trying to figure out if it's best to push him till 7 so he'll hopefully start sleeping more at DC. Or if I should just rush dinner into him/start sending dinner to school and put him down at 6pm. But then I can't figure out how I'd do dinner for the other 3 of us.

this is my house!  we eat at 6, at the earliest.  I push her until 7 because it's not too bad, but I think pretty soon she'll adjust to one nap and it will get better on it's own.   I think she'd just think it was a nap if I put her down at 6.

DD goes 2.5 hours between wake up and 1st nap

3 hours between 1st nap and 2nd nap

3.5 hours between 2nd nap and bedtime

ETA DD goes to sleep at 6 PM and we eat dinner without her but I sort of love that time with DH so I'm fine eating without her.

DS is pushing his afternoon nap later and later. He used to go down around 1 or 1:30 pm now it's more like 2:30 or 3pm for about 45 minutes to an hour. He goes to bed at 7:30pm...sometimes 8pm.
