He slept until 5:20ish ... one of his monster, 2.5 hour naps. Put him down for the night at 8, and so far, so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52251 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:41:47 +0000 cupcakemama 52251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will wake LO up from an afternoon nap if it is going to mess up that night's sleep. I prefer not to though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52248 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:37:16 +0000 heffalump 52248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wake my lo up if she's napping late. If I don't, she would just sleep through the night then wake up super early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52242 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:19:34 +0000 calsmom 52242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel that it is important to keep a baby on a schedule, so if it requires waking them up from a nap then I will be doing so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52240 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:18:24 +0000 Andrea 52240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to wake my LO up all the time to keep her on a schedule. ah, the good ole days when she was younger and used to nap for a long time. now there is no never a need to wake her up! but if your LO had a rough night, then i would make an exception and just let him sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52235 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:16:24 +0000 Rubies 52235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only wake her from her afternoon nap if it's passed 4:30pm. We start bedtime at 5:30-6pm and if I can get her up at least an hour before bedtime I can vigorously play with her to tire her out again for bed. It usually works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52223 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:51:35 +0000 MrsHotDog 52223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never wake her up from her naps. Her daytime naps are very precious to us and we take advantage while we can. She took a nap at 6:15 last night for 30 minutes and had no problem when we started her normal bedtime routine at 7:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52200 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:07:14 +0000 chopsuey 52200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We never wake her up from naps. I love when she sleeps :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52191 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:56:33 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 52191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night, thanks to two inexplicably short, crappy daytime naps, he was definitely OT when he went down (even when I had pushed his bedtime up), and it was the worst night we've had in a loooooong time. So I guess I'll take my chances with a well-rested baby who may want to stay up a little later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52190 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:56:16 +0000 Red 52190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't usually wake her up from naps (cause her naps aren't extremely long anyways) but I will in the morning. She usually wakes up @ 7am and I do wake her up around 7:30am if she's still asleep, otherwise it throws her whole day (and mine) off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52185 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:48:51 +0000 Mrs. Bee 52185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes we do it all the time. most of the time. but if he got his shots today, i'd prolly just let him sleep a little while longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/waking-babies-from-naps#post-52182 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:45:09 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 52182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you ever do this? Baby Y is still asleep for his afternoon nap. I usually try to have him in bed around 7, but at this rate I'll probably have to push bedtime back. </p> <p>I know some people wake their babies if they sleep past 4 pm or so, but I'm inclined to let him sleep because he got his 6-month shots this morning *and* had a really rough night last night. </p>
