Still napping at 7:45pm??

BabyRN2009 · November 2010

Um, so I know you're never supposed to wake a sleeping baby, but I wasn't expecting her to still be slseeping!!! She's been a horrible napper (reflux)until 3 days ago when I laid her on her tummy in the living room while DH and I put up x-mas decorations. To our shock, she slept almost 3 hours. Same thing yesterday, only I decided to try the crib. Again, to my suprise she slept almost 3 hours. I was out running around today and didn't get home until later so she didn't go down until about 4:30. It's now almost 8pm and she's STILL asleep!! I have been listening to her breathing on the monitor for over 3 hours (tummy sleeping makes me SOOOO nervous!).

She usually goes to bed between 9 and 9:30...do I wake her up now so we can do her bedtime routine like normal, or should I just let her be??? If I just let her sleep, I'm going to have to move her eventually because I won't let her stay on her tummy all night.

If she continues these long naps (pretty please!), now I know not to start them so late!!

I never let DS nap for more than 3 or 3.5 MAX at that age. She won't go to bed properly if she keeps napping.

I think I would just start being noisy around her and put lights on and stuff...it's been over 3 hrs- my guess and is she's going to stir from being hungry soon anyway. Whenevr I start to wonder what I should do LO wakes up- like she knows!

I would wake her (I dont let katelyn nap past 6pm) If not, her sleeping tonight will be all out of whack.

I had this exact same problem last night & we had a horrible night sleep wise. I hope it goes ok for you. I had to wake DS at 7:45 to eat & he was pleasant, but woke up at 2am then at 7am. Today's nap schedule was off because he was tired.

Uh-oh, I hope she sleeps ok tonight! She normally wakes up sometime between 3 and 4am to eat, then is up for the day around 7 and just takes 30-45 minute cat naps throughout the day (on me, lol). This whole REAL nap thing just started, and I hope it continues (just not so late...)!!
