Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Another sleep question RE: last nap & bedtime

If your baby wakes up from their last nap early, then what to do you do about bedtime? Put them down for another short nap? Put them to bed early?

DS woke up from his last nap at 4:30/5:00 and we usually don't put him to bed until 8:00 or 8:15. He is a mess to say the least!

Re: Another sleep question RE: last nap & bedtime

  • This happened to us today.  DS took a quick cat nap while I held him after his bottle.  He's a really easy baby though, and I don't think it will affect his night sleep.

  • I'm trying to figure this one out too. We put DD down b/w 7-7:30, so if she wakes from her afternoon nap before 5, she needs a nap before bedtime, but she then usually sleeps right through bedtime, like she is right now (put her down for a nap at 6, and still sleeping at 8:30).

  • DS sometimes does this. I usually let him fall asleep nursing, but wake him up as soon as he's done.

    If he's just not gonna make it, I hold him and we walk up & down the street. It's miserable here in TX, but so is him waking up early bc he went down early!

  • I usually keep LO up til his bed time if it's only an hour off. He goes to bed at 7, though, so he has to wake up before 4 for it to be a real issue.

    This is what i did. Walked him around the house to keep him awake but calm. I feel the sane wsy about waking up early!

  • I would do an evening nap.  He would probably be ready for a nap by 6 or so.
