Depends on how long his other naps were (read= if he was in my arms or the bed) but usually he goes down from 5-6 for last nap, but always up by 6:30 or he won't go to bed until 2 hours past bedtime.
Definitely try to make it 2-3. Sometimes she is so tired by 5:30 because of a bad afternoon nap but I push it until at least 6:15, then nurse her for like a half hour before she passes out. I swear we will never have a schedule though, her naps are not consistent.
About 4 hours. I put her down for her long nap of the day around 1. Usually she will sleep about 2 hours, sometimes longer if her morning nap was nonexistent. She goes to bed at 7.
LO has been going to sleep for the night at 11 for the past week and a half. Her last nap has been at 7ish. I panic when she naps at 8 because that means she'll stay up later. I miss her old schedule.
