Okay, DD's schedule has been really messed up the last few days.  I think we mess her up on weekends, because she stays up later with us.  Anyway, today she was fighting her sleep REALLY bad about 6:30, so drove her around in the car (swore I would never do that!).  She has been sleeping since then, and it's 9.  2 1/2 hours in the evening is way too long of a nap for her!  Should I wake her up??  I am scared because it was sooo hard to get her to sleep!  What would u do?????

    Your DD is so cute!  I love the headband.  Where did you get it?

     

    If you are comfortable with this, I suggest you start a consistent bedtime and stick with it.  It really helps them sleep good at night.  I guess in your scenario, I would just let her sleep and when she wakes up, feed her, change her if necessary and get her back to bed.  Good luck!

    It would depend on her normal bedtime. My LO sleeps around 8 so I would probably not wake him. I would do what PP said about sticking to a bedtime. I know its hard sometimes though

    Thanks!  Headband is from a festival they have around here....tons of craft stands with good stuff.  Got her lots of headbands and the flower/bow clips to put on them. 

    She has a really good schedule, usually.  She always takes a bath at 9, goes to bed between 10 and 10:30 every night.  Just the last few days have been different.  Dont' know how to get her BACK on track.  Maybe it's because I gave her an early bath tonight...who knows?

    Maybe she associated the bath with bedtime and went to sleep?  Not sure.  I just found that DD wants to go to bed earlier.  We've been starting her bedtime routine at 7:30 now, vice 8.  Today she slept from 4:40-7, so I thought that I should keep her awake a little bit, assuming she wouldn't go back to sleep after her bedtime routine if I started it at 7:30.  Wrong!  She started crying in the bath, which she never does.  She loves the bath.  So I guess it's a 7:30 bedtime now!

    DD jumped from a 11 bed time to 8 and it was NOT gradual at all. Maybe she is ready for an earlier bed time. See how she does for you tonight.

    I would let her sleep, but I NEVER wake DD up when she is sleeping.
