Late naps have recently started to become a problem for us....she used to be able to nap until 5-5.30 and still go down at 7, but not anymore! She needs at least 3hrs of awake time before bed, so I have to make sure she is awake by 4. Also re. the fussiness, we have just gone through the 6th wonder week, which was almost 2 weeks of extreme fussy/whiny behaviour. Teeth don't seem to bother her, but the WW's do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-giving-themselves-later-bedtimes#post-1673876 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 18:29:41 +0000 MrsTiz 1673876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: it's about 50/50, some days he does 2 naps and some days he does 3. Today he napped at 9 for about 45 min and then he napped at around 12:45 for a half hour or so. He fell asleep on the way home at 4 which he rarely does and slept til 4;30. Usually if he does that, he will still go to sleep at 5:30.. Not today! He's still up at 7:30. I really hope he doesn't try and give up a nap or try and move it til after work. Nap time is soo important for me at work right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-giving-themselves-later-bedtimes#post-1673836 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 18:06:13 +0000 edelweiss 1673836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>huh--babies and sleep! boggles my mind all the time. i was wondering if anything in your LO's nap schedule was changing, like whether your LO was showing signs of being ready to drop a nap? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-giving-themselves-later-bedtimes#post-1673777 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 17:22:36 +0000 Pepper 1673777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm... we're going through the same thing! He wants to be up til 8:30 or 9:00. We try to put him down around 7:30 and it hasn't been working. He screams and cries in his crib until I go in and turn his light on and then he's all smiles, and wants to play!</p> <p>I feel like the lighter evenings have something to do with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-giving-themselves-later-bedtimes#post-1673759 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 17:11:45 +0000 mrsjyw 1673759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: A was the same way! We didn't even know he was teething for his two bottom teeth until they showed up! :P But then his four top teeth came in all at once and for a week straight it was hard for naps (1 to no nap even tho he was on a 2 nap schedule) and several wakeups at nighttime! hope he's back to normal asap!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-giving-themselves-later-bedtimes#post-1673755 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 17:10:44 +0000 MrsTiz 1673755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I'm not sure, when he got his first two teeth nothing changed but the drool and chewing on stuff. He was a little fussy, but not like this. This past week has been miserable.. Crying, whining, throwing himself around in a tantrum and getting much less sleep at night. He's been awful. He's getting ready to crawl or maybe teething, idk. Blah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-giving-themselves-later-bedtimes#post-1673749 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 17:07:48 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1673749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With the days longer, we've noticed the kids pushing bedtime back by about half an hour to an hour later than we normally do in the fall/winter. I think it's normal given his age and the time of year. As unhelpful as that might sound :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-giving-themselves-later-bedtimes#post-1673737 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 17:01:34 +0000 mrsjyw 1673737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is he teething? The only time DS has strayed from his bedtime is when he was cutting a ton of teeth... otherwise, the bedtime gap either way has never been more than 30 min </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-giving-themselves-later-bedtimes#post-1673733 Mon, 02 Jun 2014 16:57:39 +0000 MrsTiz 1673733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been going to bed at 5:15-5:30 for a few months now. It really works for us as far as evenings and waking up for work. </p> <p>This weekend he decided to take a 30 minute nap at bedtime and then stay up until around 8. He did it Friday first and then has done it every night since, minus the nap. It's 6 now and no sign of sleepiness in sight. Friday he was happy as a clam until bed, the rest of the nights...not so much. He's still waking up at 5:30am so he's actually getting less sleep. </p> <p>I don't know if that's the reason he's been so cranky all day this weekend and today or not but something's gotta give!</p> <p>So what did a later bed time look like at your house? Is it normal to just start going to bed almost 3 hours later out of nowhere!? </p>
