Hello!

?: if your LO dozes off after 5 pm (or anytime in the late afternoon) will you wake them?

Today for example, my LO fell asleep in his highchair after his dinner and I feel so bad waking him up (he's sleeping as we speak). But if I don't he won't sleep at night.

Never. If he fell asleep at 5, I'd leave him. In fact, I used to wake him up and when I stopped, he made 6pm his bedtime. He sleeps from 6pm-6am straight through without any wake ups.
