Mine don't nap much though, if at all, so when they do, we all need it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1926367 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 16:49:24 +0000 MamaCate 1926367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did yesterday! LO is almost 3 and stubborn. She stayed awake in her room (pretty much) for the two hours of quiet/nap time, but then fell asleep lying on the floor next to the door right before her clock turned green to let her out. I woke her up about 90 minutes later since it was so late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1926251 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:14:03 +0000 Boogs 1926251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have in the past when LO1 would try to sleep more than 3 hours just because it would really mess up bedtime and he would actually sleep way less and night and wake up crazy early the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1926156 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 11:43:58 +0000 Charm54 1926156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never, but she never takes long naps! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1926154 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 11:41:45 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1926154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have to when we were taking 2 naps a day, but now that we have moved to just one I don't. I do have to fight like crazy to keep him awake in the car if we leave the house before nap time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1926148 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 11:36:51 +0000 Ree723 1926148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not if I can at all help it! E is an absolute nightmare if she gets woken up from a nap, and I mean a NIGHTMARE. Both girls are pretty good sleepers and even if their naps run late, they still generally go to bed at the same time, so I let them nap as late as they want. And I try my hardest to never wake them to go somewhere....hence why we're late to a lot of places :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925650 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 19:54:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1925650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: no. My girls never nap well, so it usually signals that they're getting sick or going through a growth spurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925639 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 19:46:38 +0000 delight 1925639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we usually have to wake her from every nap or else she'd sleep forever. She has two hour nap in morning and one hour in afternoon. She's 15 months. I think we will be working towards just one nap soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925636 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 19:42:52 +0000 travelgirl1 1925636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, if it gets to 4pm, as I hate to screw with bedtime, it's hard enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925628 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 19:36:34 +0000 Tanjowen 1925628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No napping past 4:30 p.m., or bedtime at 7 doesn't happen. I've only had to wake him once or twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925561 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 18:17:32 +0000 Caly 1925561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, if either of them are still sleeping at 5-5:30, they get woken up. Otherwise they won't be sleepy come 9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925554 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 18:07:44 +0000 lawbee11 1925554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes. I wake her up by 4/4:30 if she's still napping (unless she's sick). But that rarely happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925544 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 18:00:29 +0000 regberadaisy 1925544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I don't like her naps to go past 3:30. Bedtime is 8 but if we pushed bedtime back she will still wake up at the same time which means less overnight sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925515 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 17:12:05 +0000 bushelandapeck 1925515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We almost always wake him up by 3pm. If we don't, he won't go to bed before 9pm and I'm too tired to stay up later than that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925495 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 16:32:06 +0000 Radish 1925495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seeing as my LO doesn't do bedtime well as it is, I just let her sleep. Today was her longest nap ever, I think, usually it isn't an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925492 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 16:27:25 +0000 winniebee 1925492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to wake him up by 5 so he will go to bed by 9 but otherwise let him sleep. He either doesn't nap or binge naps so when he naps I try to let him be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925468 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:55:34 +0000 Andrea 1925468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake her up if it's getting late, like past 5 pm because I want her to go to bed by 7:30 pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925464 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:54:33 +0000 jhd 1925464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 6 months and I never wake him from a nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925437 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:32:08 +0000 twodoghouse 1925437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, just to sync them up. It's hard when their naps are totally opposites, so I will wake them up so they'll be on the same bedtime schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925429 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:27:48 +0000 Zbug 1925429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I only wake her if we have somewhere to go. Worst case, we just move bedtime back a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925424 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:17:56 +0000 yerpie110 1925424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't wake her up from naps and it does mess with bedtime, but that is because her schedule is naturally sleeping later in the evening (averages 9 hours at night) and taking long naps (3-4 hours). Waking her up just means disaster and she won't sleep longer at night, even if she sleeps earlier. I've given in, and just enjoy the extra time with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925423 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:17:39 +0000 DillonLion 1925423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never ever if we don't have anything planned. But it also never interferes with her bedtime! She's got such long days during the week because of our work/commute times, so I try to maximize her sleep as much as possible on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925414 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 15:01:44 +0000 mamabolt 1925414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, about to right now. If she sleeps much past 4 then bedtime is difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925401 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 14:53:18 +0000 illumina 1925401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it gets to 3pm (so a 3hr nap) I wake her so it doesn't interfere with bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925398 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 14:51:11 +0000 cascademom 1925398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, almost had to today, but rescheduled his hair appointment for later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925394 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 14:47:33 +0000 lamariniere 1925394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost always have to wake up DS from naps, he can easily nap more than three hours (and he's almost 4!). Luckily, I've never had a problem getting him to bed more or less on time, even when his naps go late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-wake-up-your-lo-from-a-nap#post-1925390 Sat, 01 Nov 2014 14:44:49 +0000 Bao 1925390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even if you have no where to go? My girls have been napping for a few hours now (woohoo!) but since they rarely take good naps I have a feeling they are going to be up all night. I guess it works out since the time changes tonight but I'm still worried since it's approaching 4pm and LO2 usually goes down for the night at 6pm. </p> <p>Do you ever wake up your LO from a nap if it's getting late? If you let them sleep as long as they want does it mess with their bedtime? </p>
