Assuming he doesn't take his later nap today at daycare again, it'll be an early bedtime for Xander! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-napsbedtimefood-schedule-question#post-1209581 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:38:16 +0000 mrskc 1209581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do an earlier bedtime and see how he does. My LO always surprises me when I put him down early, he wakes at the same time as if he went to bed later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-napsbedtimefood-schedule-question#post-1209574 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:35:18 +0000 hilsy85 1209574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: ha no idea, but worth a try! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-napsbedtimefood-schedule-question#post-1209564 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:32:17 +0000 Smurfette 1209564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try it earlier and see how he does! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-napsbedtimefood-schedule-question#post-1209544 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:22:28 +0000 loveisstrange 1209544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just do an earlier bedtime as well. Cs bedtime was 6 until she was about a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-napsbedtimefood-schedule-question#post-1209534 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:19:26 +0000 dolphin 1209534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he missed his nap I would do early bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-napsbedtimefood-schedule-question#post-1209532 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:17:48 +0000 Adira 1209532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Do you think that if I did that, he'll just end up waking up earlier in the morning? Because I don't really want that either, haha... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-napsbedtimefood-schedule-question#post-1209526 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:15:46 +0000 hilsy85 1209526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely try moving up his bedtime to avoid the whole wakeup/put back to sleep thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8mo-napsbedtimefood-schedule-question#post-1209511 Mon, 11 Nov 2013 19:09:08 +0000 Adira 1209511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On a good day, Xander takes a nap late in the afternoon and I'm able to nurse him between 5:00 and 6:00, do solids shortly after, and then do bedtime routine so that he's in bed by 7:30.</p> <p>But, more often than not, Xander doesn't take his late afternoon nap at daycare, and we get home around 5:30 and he's tired. I've been opting to put him down for a nap, wake him at 6:30 to nurse and then do bedtime routine and put him back to bed, skipping solids. But LATELY, he's been PISSED to be woken up to eat at 6:30. He's fine when I'm actually nursing him, but as soon as he's done eating, he starts crying hysterically and it takes a while to settle him back down to sleep. I've tried both changing his diaper before and after nursing, but nothing works. He's sooooooo mad!</p> <p>So... what should I do? Should I nurse him as soon as we get home from daycare and then just do a really early bedtime (6:00 instead of 7:00)? Any advice? The hysterical crying is making me want to cry hysterically! </p>
