She's usually in bed between 630-7pm. At daycare I think she naps from 1-3 ish so that would be 3.5-4 hrs BUT on weekends we don't usually put her down for a nap until later so for example yesterday she napped from 230-410 and went to bed at 650pm. So that was only 2.5 hrs after wake up. So we are anywhere from 2-4 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-between-last-nap-wakeup-and-bedtime#post-2166406 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:36:06 +0000 winniebee 2166406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T rarely naps but when he does it's usually short/ in the car so we keep bed time the same / doesn't matter when he napped. If he takes a nap at home (which is a unicorn) then he needs 4-5 hours before bed time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-between-last-nap-wakeup-and-bedtime#post-2166399 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:33:03 +0000 Anagram 2166399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is usually up from her nap by 2-2:30 pm and her bedtime is 8pm. SO...5.5-6 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-between-last-nap-wakeup-and-bedtime#post-2166388 Mon, 04 May 2015 12:27:22 +0000 gingerbebe 2166388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 8 months and is up 3 hours before bedtime.

Less time on the weekends because she naps later but still goes to bed at 7. We can't push bed time back because she needs 12 hours of sleep, but the chances of her sleeping past 7am are pretty slim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-between-last-nap-wakeup-and-bedtime#post-2166088 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:21:05 +0000 ValentineMommy 2166088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has napped as late as 4:45pm, and he goes to bed at 8. Normally, it's more like 4-5 hours between though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-between-last-nap-wakeup-and-bedtime#post-2166080 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:17:29 +0000 twodoghouse 2166080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our routine varies depending on when they wake up in the morning (they have a tendency to wake at 5 am, but sometimes we get lucky and we all make it till 6!). Usually it's about 3.5-4 hours after nap. Lately they've been taking a later afternoon nap and they actually do better with sleeping if their last awake time is no later than 3.5 hrs before bedtime. It makes for a longer bedtime routine because they're still winding down, but being overtired makes for a worse night! (They are 12 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-between-last-nap-wakeup-and-bedtime#post-2166063 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:09:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2166063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is only 5 mo but she stays up for loner between last nap and bed time... Def 2+ hr but no more than 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-between-last-nap-wakeup-and-bedtime#post-2166060 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:08:53 +0000 mrsjyw 2166060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 5 hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-between-last-nap-wakeup-and-bedtime#post-2166056 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:07:17 +0000 Mamaof2 2166056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is the same - she wakes at 3pm at DCP and I don't even start bedtime till at least 8pm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-between-last-nap-wakeup-and-bedtime#post-2166053 Mon, 04 May 2015 10:05:59 +0000 mrbee 2166053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much don't even start bedtime until there's been at least 4-5 hours or so since my daughter woke up from her nap. Learned the hard way that starting too early just means a really long bedtime routine! </p>
