So when i say "no more than 2 hour nap", it will sometimes turn into 2 hours and 15 minutes if he is sleeping that long. and i get so.much.done in those 15 minutes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limit-morning-nap#post-1202040 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:33:56 +0000 californiadreams 1202040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in the past i would have done nothing. however, after letting LO sleep once for 3 hours in the morning, he then refused his afternoon nap that day and was an overtired monster by bedtime. Another time i let him sleep 3 hours in the afternoon - and he went bed to 1.5 hours later than usual! after much fighting, lol</p> <p>So since those experiences, i am officially in the camp of not letting them nap more than 2 hours.</p> <p>my sister also went to a baby sleep workshop and was told that if they need more sleep, they should make up for it by having an earlier bedtime that night, but long naps just messes them up - i now agree wholeheartedly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limit-morning-nap#post-1201919 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:57:25 +0000 Dandelion 1201919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I bet she's a happy girl right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limit-morning-nap#post-1201917 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:56:29 +0000 birdofafeather 1201917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: ha. of course! i would think she needs it, especially after the night you had the other night. we had something similar last night and i'm going to let that girl sleep as much as she wants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/limit-morning-nap#post-1201823 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:32:57 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1201823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha.

Usually her morning nap is 1.5-2 max!</p> <p>I've gone in so many times to check her breathing and she seems fine, no fever just sleeping soundly.</p> <p>Normally if her afternoon nap runs long I'll wake her at 4:30 to not interrupt night sleep. I'm wondering now, how this doozy of a nap will affect her afternoon nap and therefore bedtime....</p> <p>I'm kind of hoping that posting this will jinx me and I won't have to decide what to do.</p> <p>What do you do with an abnormally long nap? </p>
