What do you moms do?

Anderson was napping until 5:30 with no signs of waking up.  He usually goes to bed at 7:00 and I didn't know if I should wake him up so he stays on his schedule, or just let him sleep until he wakes up...

So what do you do when your LOs nap runs long or too close to bedtime?

BTW-Yesterday was my last day of work so I feel like I get to join you ladies again!!!  I'm so excited!

Caroline has done the exact same thing before and I pretty much follow the adage "Never wake a sleeping baby."  She usually can still keep her same bedtime when this happens.

we dont really have a set schedule yet, but when I think it's time to feed or whatnot and he's still sleeping, I let him sleep!!

I wake her up if it's really late. Not that we have the whole schedule thing down by any means, bit my sleep book I've been reading really emphasizes trying to maintain a consistent schedule as much as possible. Adorable siggy pic BTW!

We let him sleep, we also follow "never wake a sleeping baby".  If he wakes up before his bed time he usually has no problem going back to sleep.

There was one day when he fell asleep at 5:30 and didn't wake up until 6 a.m.,the next morning.  He slept great, I on the other hand was a complete wreck (I didn't know if it was normal).

I also follow the rule of never wake a sleeping baby.  She usually has no problem going back to sleep if she sleeps close to bedtime.

I totally agree with "don't wake up a sleeping baby"
