Ugh.
We went out around 11 today and DS fell asleep for maybe 10-15 minutes. We were home by 1130 because where we wanted to go wasn't even open.
We woke him up. Fed him lunch. Played. Had milk. Now it's 140 and he's been yelling in his crib for 20 minutes!
Would a 10 minute nap 2 hours before regular nap time ruin it for your LO? Hoping he passes out soon... I'm tired too.

That would absolutely ruin nap around here. For us, we would just power through the rest of the day and move bedtime up. There's no way my DD would go back to sleep. Good luck!

I read once that any time they fall asleep for at least 10 minutes, you basically have to consider that their nap. I always found it to be true. It's the worst!

Anything longer than 5 mins results in no other naps for us...at least not for a few hours after the cat nap. And then it's usually too late for a second nap. I hate when that happens!

Yes, this has happened to us before too! I can't believe it but it throws the day off. I'm just glad he can usually have a little sleep in the car in the evening without ruining his night sleep.

I guess I'm in the minority because I would not expect a 10 minute nap that far before naptime to mess with a nap! I'm sorry it's happening to you!

That sucks! But add me to the apparent minority. That doesn't affect DD's nap at all.

Update: He fell asleep right as I posted this and slept for an hour and 10 mins (totally normal for him).
Phew. Crisis averted and I napped too.

@Trailmix: @Mrs.KMM: it doesn't always ruin the nap here so I always try for a real nap. It's just really hit or miss. And very annoying.
@Mrs. Champagne: yay! Glad you both got some rest!

Yep! If she naps in the car we don't get a real nap from her.

It can totally screw us or I can do a reset and do lunch, quick activity and get a later nap out of her. But it works less and less at 3.
