Her "naptime" is 11:30-12 but she can make it to 1 most of the time. I've found if she stays awake longer, she will sleep longer, so it's win-win. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092854 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:27:12 +0000 nana87 2092854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: totally! moreover, she's transitioning between 1 and 2 naps (usually 1 at daycare but 2 on home days but sometimes one...), so every day is a little different. it also depends on her wake up time but that varies too because it depends on how many times she wakes at night.</p> <p>I thought I'd be a schedule kind of parent, but nope, as it turns out, I'm not at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092853 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:27:01 +0000 .twist. 2092853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started off with a very strict routine because it was the only thing that worked for him. Now, after almost a year of routine, I can push it back 15 - 20 - 30 minutes depending on his behaviour. We also adjust when we start to see that he's able to stay happy longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092852 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:26:39 +0000 illumina 2092852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Put her down at the same time no matter what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092845 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:24:01 +0000 Alivoo01 2092845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO needs routine, then I'd put them down no matter what. If your LO is flexible then I'd let them play for a bit longer, but make sure they don't get overly tired where they won't nap at all later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092836 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:21:23 +0000 PurplePeony 2092836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At daycare, the kids all go down for nap at the same time every day. They're allowed to play quietly in the other part of the room if they don't want to nap, but judging by her daily sheets, DD usually goes to sleep with everyone else (but usually gets up before nap time is technically done). At home, though, we go by her cues so when she starts to get cranky, it's nap time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092835 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:21:16 +0000 LovelyPlum 2092835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: This is us, too. It is completely counter productive to put her down when she is not ready. There is no more sure fire way of inducing a meltdown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092823 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:18:35 +0000 nana87 2092823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we don't do set nap times, I follow her lead about whether she's showing tired cues, and daycare does the same. So if she's happy, it isn't naptime yet :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092820 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:17:47 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2092820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll still put him down at the same time. If I miss the window, he won't nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092818 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:16:46 +0000 hilsy85 2092818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will delay for maybe 15-20 min. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092814 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:15:58 +0000 autumnlove 2092814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They still nap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-is-being-good-but-its-nap-time#post-2092810 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 13:14:28 +0000 Bao 2092810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you let them stay up a bit and push back their nap or do you put them down at the same time every day no matter what? </p> <p>My LO's should have laid down for a nap 30 minutes ago but they are both playing quietly so I'm going to drag this out as long as I can and hope it doesn't backfire on me! </p>
