Sleeping LO

So LOs bed time is usually 7 and guess who's been napping since 530. I guess we're doing a later bed time tonight. He hasn't slept well the last couple days so I hate to wake him but I don't want to be up all night. Is this a sleep = sleep situation or sleep = your F'ed situation? Who wants to take bets?

Re: Sleeping LO

  • I never wake a sleeping baby or child if I can at all help it. In my house more sleep is always better. YMMV but I would carry on as usual with bedtime at the usual time. It may be harder to initially get them to sleep but hopefully nighttime will be fine!

  • I JUST had this internal debate. I'm currently rocking LO for a nap. It's 6:20p. This might be the dumbest idea I've ever had or it might be brilliant

  • Same boat! It's 5:30 and LO just conked out on me. Let her catnap or go put her in bed.....hmm.
  • We refer to that as first bed. Our LO usually goes down around 6-6:30, sleeps for like 30-45 minutes, wakes up to eat, then goes back down like maybe 30 minutes later. But my LO is a weird sleeper so we pretty much just let him lead.

  • Sounds like maybe you're in the 4-to-3 nap transition? DS is starting to consistently do only 3 naps, but on days he does a 4th before 6.30 or so, I just bump back bedtime til 8ish. If he wakes from the 3rd nap 5.30 or earlier, I can cut out the 4th nap and stick with bedtime closer to 7.

  • As long as the nap is before 7 we are ok. If not its all bad!
  • DD goes to bed around 8 and takes a nap around 6-630. It's weird. She also takes a nap about an hour or two after she wakes up in the morning. Perhaps she's resting up for all the crying she does during the day.

  • He's currently in his crib just playing with his hands. I'm hoping since we did our regular night time ritual he will just happily drift off in a bit
