Naps and bedtime

MrsEllis10

DD's bedtime is usually around 730. Lately because of naps it's been 8-830. This is making her wake earlier (5 AM). 

She will nap from 9-10-1030 and now she won't want a nap until 4. This is completely throwing off bedtime.

Should I start waking her from her morning nap? I hate to wake a sleeping baby, but I can't push her morning nap back because she turns into a cranky lil monster. 

What would you do during this nap transition craziness?

I would put her in the bed at the times she used to take naps, the times you want her to nap. Does she scream if you leave her in there? I would just keep comforting her ever 5-10 min until she gets drowsy. If she doesn't fall asleep in 45 min or so for the pm nap, just get her up and keep her up until 7:30 bedtime. That night might be wild, and the next day, but eventually and you'll be back on track. *at least this is what would work for my babies!

Our LO naps around 11am-12:30pm and sometimes she doesn't take another nap until 4pm-5:30pm.  Even though she wakes up at 5:30, we still do the same routine....dinner, play and then bedtime at 7:30-7:45.   For a while, I thought because she napped til 5:30 she should be up later, but that backfired.  We find that she still does better going to bed around 7:30.
