If he falls asleep around 5, I'll wake him by 545 (IF he sleeps that long!) or so to have bedtime at 730. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933471 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:21:26 +0000 Weagle 933471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't let LO nap past 4, 4:30 if she went down late. She needs at least 4 hours of awake time before going to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933421 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:07:48 +0000 JoJoGirl 933421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good question. LO is impossible to get to nap and finally crashes around 4 for her afternoon nap, sometimes sleeping until we wake her up. She's asleep now (6pm) and debating when to wake her.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933404 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:03:53 +0000 Running Elley 933404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: That is quite the epic nap!!!!</p> <p>I always make sure he's awake at 5. Bedtime starts at 7 and he goes down at about 7:30. He very rarely naps all the way until 5 though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933401 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:03:12 +0000 loveisstrange 933401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As an infant it was 5, bed by 6. As an older baby it was 4:30, bed by 6:30. As a toddler is 2:30. We do bathtime at 6:30 and bed by 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933395 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 17:01:18 +0000 birdofafeather 933395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-2.5 hours awake for nighttime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933082 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:34:30 +0000 littlek 933082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never woke B up from a nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933069 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:31:42 +0000 pl0508 933069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2-3 hrs awake ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933068 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:31:40 +0000 NovBaby1112 933068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @MamaMoose.

She went to sleep at 7:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933066 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:31:21 +0000 googly-eyes 933066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She needs to be up by 5... Or at least I think so anyway. Bed between 7-8, depending on her sleepiness but usually aim for 730 in her crib! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933063 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:30:37 +0000 babynumber1 933063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has always taken a nap from 5:15-6/6:30. I wake her up if she isn't up by 6:30. We always put her in bed at 8 and she sleeps 12 hrs with no problems </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933059 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:29:00 +0000 MamaMoose 933059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been looooving a late nap lately. She goes down at 8 and as long as I don't let her sleep later than 6:30 she goes down without a fight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933058 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:28:59 +0000 mrsjyw 933058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 hours awake! He won't go down like normal if it's any closer...!</p> <p>5pm is the latest :P A goes down for the night 630-7 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-latest-youll-let-lo-nap-before-bedtime#post-933057 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:28:15 +0000 PrincessBaby 933057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>H is still sleeping in her carseat and it's almost 430, she fell asleep at 3. I like to do solids at 630/645, then bath, then hopefully dropping her in the crib 715/730.</p> <p>I think I'll wake her up at 430, in a few mins. </p> <p>What's the latest you'll let LO nap relative to bedtime? </p>
