Around 6 months her bedtime was 5:30 and she'd sleep 14 hours! It sucked that my husband didn't really get to see her during the week but it's such a short phase that's over before you know it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-nap-or-early-bed#post-1467500 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 17:30:13 +0000 twoofeverything 1467500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's just about when my two dropped their third nap! We moved bedtime earlier for a few days during the transition (about 30 minutes). I also found it easier to stretch the awake time between first and second nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-nap-or-early-bed#post-1467383 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 16:37:05 +0000 Charm54 1467383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 5.5 month old seems to be pushing her awake time between naps which means the third nap either doesn't happen, or she wants to take it really late.</p> <p>It's 5:30 and she is a MESS. Bedtime is only 7:00pm ... I think I'll let her take a 30 min cat nap in my arms before waking her up at 6:00 for supper and our bedtime routine. </p> <p>Do you do late naps/early bed or just try to push through to regular bedtime? </p>
