When did you ditch the evening nap?

Smittenkitten05 · December 2008

My DS is still on a schedule where he naps every 1.5-2 hours. He's been having a last evening nap around 6-7 and we try to put him to bed at 8. If your DC used to take a short cat nap at night, when did you stop doing this and start putting him/her to bed earlier? I'm worried about doing this because 6 or 6:30 just seems so early for him to be going to bed.

We stopped his evening nap somewhere around 4 months. He goes down for bed at 7pm, and we get him up at 6:15 or so for daycare

DS still takes a short nap in the evening, usually around 5pm. 6:30 is not too early for a baby's bedtime! We start our routine at 7, or earlier if he's getting too cranky. Actually the earlier he goes down (as in, we don't keep him up til 8 on purpose) the better and longer he sleeps.
