DS naps from 1-3pm at daycare. Ideally I think he'd start his nap a bit earlier and wake up a bit earlier but that is not an option for us.
Soo.... what time should I aim for bedtime? What should his awake time be between his nap and bedtime?
I can't figure him out. I seriously don't know if he's not tired enough or overtired! Help!!

@birdofafeather: thanks! I've been trying to get him down for 7:30 but it's more like 7:45. He really fights it and I'm trying to figure out if there is something I can do to help him!

@QBbride: our LO naps 1-3 at daycare too and we put her down around 7. I wake her up at 6:45am. She is still having two naps though and has a quick one from 9:15-10:00am too. She is 14 months.

My daughter naps 12:30-2:30 (most days) and we put her down at 730 but it is 800 before she falls asleep. If we put her down at 7, she still doesn't go to sleep till 8.

Anytime between 7 and 8 sounds good. That said, my LO naps around the same time and I can rarely get him to sleep before 8:30 so who knows.

I'd do 7:00/7:30 like others have suggested.
Though it also depends on what time he needs to wake up in the morning! I try to give Xander 12 hours overnight (even though he doesn't always sleep that long), so if I needed him up at 6:30 a.m., 6:30 p.m. would be the latest I'd put him to bed.

I would say 7-7.30. Depending on what time she wakes up, LO sometimes naps 1-3 and she's ready for bed by 7. She's 13 months.

Ours is about the same and he goes to bed a little before 8. Never falls asleep before 8.

@Smurfette: they have their own minds, that's for sure!
