do you ever wake a sleeping LO during the day?

Do you ladies ever wake up LO from naps so that you can get to places on time -- i.e. church, social events, etc. I never wake LO, even if it means I am going to be seriously late. Sleep is just too sacred for me :P No judgment here, just curious what other parents do.

    yes, i wake her if we need to go some where or if she has already slept a long time so that she will still go to sleep on schedule that night. A little nap is better than no nap.

    I'll wake her up if we have some where to be.  She usually falls back asleep in the car if she's really tired.

    Yes, if we have to be somewhere. I try to plan the day accordingly, but not too strictly. I think she needs to learn how to adapt and not get freaked out if we aren't on her "schedule".

    He rarely takes naps, but if he does and it goes over an hour, I wake him up.

    Only if I have to. I hate waking her up since naps are hard to come by these days, but it seems we always have to be somewhere.

    I only waker her if she is going on a 3 hr nap. When it comes to appts and what not I schedule them around nap times and if we are late to a social gathering oh well. Both my girls thrive on thier schedules so going off schedule is not an option in our house.

    If I have a doctor's appointment or something of that nature, yes. Otherwise no, I let him sleep as long as he wants/

    I guess I would say this is me as well. I definitely try to schedule stuff around LO's nap schedule but it doesn't work 100% of the time.

    I do sometimes wake DD up if we have somewhere to be that we need to be there at a certain time (church, an appt, etc). I hate to do it, but I also figure a little nap is better than none.

    I'll wake him up if we absolutely have to be somewhere (i.e. doctor's appointment, church). I try to plan the day around his naps, though.

    Nope. Sleep is sacred here, too. We have never woken either boy for anything! It's just not worth it.
