But it works less and less at 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435417 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 19:00:10 +0000 Smurfette 2435417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! If she naps in the car we don't get a real nap from her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435281 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 16:21:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2435281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: @Mrs.KMM: it doesn't always ruin the nap here so I always try for a real nap. It's just really hit or miss. And very annoying. </p> <p>@Mrs. Champagne: yay! Glad you both got some rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435274 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 16:11:58 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2435274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: He fell asleep right as I posted this and slept for an hour and 10 mins (totally normal for him). </p> <p>Phew. Crisis averted and I napped too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435270 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 16:07:54 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2435270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sucks! But add me to the apparent minority. That doesn't affect DD's nap at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435262 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 15:53:35 +0000 Trailmix 2435262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm in the minority because I would not expect a 10 minute nap that far before naptime to mess with a nap! I'm sorry it's happening to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435261 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 15:51:01 +0000 hellobeeboston 2435261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, 10 minute nap in car always kills entire nap! The worst!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435240 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 15:22:14 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2435240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, this has happened to us before too! I can't believe it but it throws the day off. I'm just glad he can usually have a little sleep in the car in the evening without ruining his night sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435230 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 15:11:01 +0000 bushelandapeck 2435230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anything longer than 5 mins results in no other naps for us...at least not for a few hours after the cat nap. And then it's usually too late for a second nap. I hate when that happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435223 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 15:03:40 +0000 erinbaderin 2435223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read once that any time they fall asleep for at least 10 minutes, you basically have to consider that their nap. I always found it to be true. It's the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435205 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 14:22:37 +0000 Zbug 2435205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would absolutely ruin nap around here. For us, we would just power through the rest of the day and move bedtime up. There's no way my DD would go back to sleep. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435201 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 14:20:22 +0000 Littlebit 2435201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Even a 5 minute nap will do it. Death to car naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435182 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 14:00:51 +0000 Canoli 2435182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it has happened to us before. Totally sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435175 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 13:55:01 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2435175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. It happens to us too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435173 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 13:53:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2435173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's total BS but that kind of thing has screwed me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/10-minute-car-nap-two-hours-before-nap-time#post-2435167 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 13:41:11 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2435167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. </p> <p>We went out around 11 today and DS fell asleep for maybe 10-15 minutes. We were home by 1130 because where we wanted to go wasn't even open. </p> <p>We woke him up. Fed him lunch. Played. Had milk. Now it's 140 and he's been yelling in his crib for 20 minutes!</p> <p>Would a 10 minute nap 2 hours before regular nap time ruin it for your LO? Hoping he passes out soon... I'm tired too. </p>
