LO is almost 8 months old and even if he naps really close to bedtime, and sometimes past it (because he hardly naps at daycare and often falls asleep on the way home), it hasn't messed up his nighttime sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073567 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 07:03:55 +0000 immabeetoo 1073567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: haha yeah that had never rang true for us!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: glad it worked out ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073508 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 05:25:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 1073508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: she ended up back down for the night at 12:30 and slept until 6:15. That's about as long of a stretch as she will usually ever have. Not bad kiddo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073435 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 23:38:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 1073435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: well she just went down now so we will see what happens. She sleeps in the master bedroom with me and Dh but if things don't go we'll tonight ill go sleep with her in her room since Dh had work tomorrow and I can sleep when she does if it comes to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073429 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 23:31:33 +0000 shopaholic 1073429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, I'd let it go too. But I still have this problem with my 6 month old! And when I let her sleep past/too close to her bedtime, it's really bitten me in the butt those couple of times! Wouldn't stay asleep through the night, multiple wakings, just an all-around confused baby. I've been told sleep begets sleep, but I think my kid didn't get that memo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073298 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:55:53 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1073298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 13 weeks and we don't let her sleep past 6 for her 7:30/8 bedtime. </p> <p>At 5 weeks, we just let her sleep and prayed for a decent night of rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073297 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:54:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 1073297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And she's up. At pretty much the time she usually goes to sleep. Should be an interesting night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073290 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:45:43 +0000 immabeetoo 1073290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no way that young! now, i'd probably wake him by 4:30 at the latest; his bedtime is at 7. but we've never had that problem haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073287 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:44:40 +0000 DillonLion 1073287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this age, I wouldnt worry about it.</p> <p>Now, at 9.5 months, I let her sleep until 7, and then wake her and do dinner/bath/bottle/bed time at her regular time of 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073257 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:29:14 +0000 sslm 1073257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wake her up by 5:30, she's been going to bed at 8 lately and I don't want to give that up!!!! Back at 6 weeks I probably would've let her sleep :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073252 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:27:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 1073252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good I feel better. I may be up late tonight but she will be well rested and I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073222 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:16:07 +0000 lovehoneybee 1073222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age, especially without a set bedtime, I'd let it go. </p> <p>My LO is 13 months old now and has a bedtime so I'll wake him up if it's gotten late enough that it will interfere. (Although occasionally, if it's been a rough day I'll let him sleep a little longer and just push his bedtime back a bit). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073218 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:14:25 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1073218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no...not at that age.<br /> Once he has an established bedtime, maybe 14 weeks old? Then, i'd wake him up so that he would have 1.5h of awake time before his bedtime.<br /> Now that he is older (almost 11m) , it doesn't matter when his nap is, he will still sleep at bedtime and through the night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073216 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:13:42 +0000 dolphin 1073216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would let her sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073214 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 20:12:07 +0000 Penny Lane 1073214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at that age i let it go!</p> <p>my LO is almost 13 months now and i don't let him nap past 4:30 in the afternoon, but i only started waking him from 11 months old!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-takes-a-long-nap-late-in-the-day-do-you-wake-them#post-1073141 Sun, 08 Sep 2013 19:48:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 1073141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a set bedtime yet for C, 6 weeks old. But she fell asleep a little late- she fights naps like crazy- and now is still asleep 3.5 hours later at 8:45. No idea what going to bed tonight is going to be like now! But she needs sleep so I'm letting it go. Will I regret this? </p>
