I never wake up Cobi unless I absolutely NEED to!! Sleep is precious and he is so much happier when he has uninterrupted sleep.
Tonight he had his first swim lesson - yay!! It was at 5pm, prime time for him. On the way home he completely zonked out in his carseat and it asleep. It's 6:05. Should I wake up and do the bedtime routine? Or should I let him sleep in his carseat and mess up his bedtime schedule?!

Since he just went swimming, I would wake him up to give him a bath!

this just happened last night because we were out past her beditme. when we got home, she was fast asleep in the car. I didn't want to wake her up for her bedtime routine and risk her not going back down, so I just put her down in her clothes (picked her up without waking her) and she slept for 7 hours!

With two kids, my youngest's sleep gets interrupted a lot; but I manage to get him back on track anyway so it's not as bad.

so cute!
I've never woken my LO up.
Well, I woke her up once when we were up in PA for DH's family reunion. We had to get to his grandma's 90th birthday dinner.
I didn't want to wake LO up, but I did it because I had to!

@Mrsdaredevil: wow!! that is an amazing feat!
@Mrsbells: @tequiero21: Well I woke him, fed him some dinner, gave him a bath and nursed him and he went right to sleep! I was shocked. Normally he doesn't do that. Sweet thing I wore him right out!
@chopsuey119: yeah... I used to start nannying at 12pm and back then that was right in the middle of his nap time, so I always had to wake him. I felt so badly!! Now he gets up earlier.

I'd just transfer him to the crib... and deal with the "dream feed" too early for my liking.
I NEVER wake my baby on purpose anymore but I always transfer him to the crib at night because it has the motion monitor and he had one nap where he stopped breathing...

@Coco Bee: isn't that like the 6 million dollar question? Do I wake you up and risk messing with the rest of the night, or leave you to sleep and risk messing with the rest of the night. I feel like it's a no win situation.
FWIW, I'd wake up and do nightime routine.

@pastemoo: he did!?!?! did you post about that?! I don't remember. oh my gosh so scary. I contemplated buying that, and read a few reviews where some moms said it saved their baby's life...
@prettylizy: amazingly he was fine! I woke him up and gave him a bath and his dinner, he went right to sleep at 7!

@Coco Bee: that's brilliant. A far cry from where you were 4 months ago.... remember the "will they ever sleep?!!!?" days?
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
@prettylizy: OMG YES!!! And now I'm giving sleep advice to the ladies whose babies are 4 months old hahaha!!

@Coco Bee: I dunno, the monitor went off a few other times but one nap it went off 3 times, and finally I just leaned over the crib and watched him sleep (and kept putting my finger under his nose to feel the breath). He was pale/grey. Scared the crap out of me!

@pastemoo: oh my gosh... my heart would have died. Did you have to do CPR?

@Coco Bee: No, just had to keep kind of waking him up. He was really really out and we couldn't wake him up for real (he is usually a very alert baby and a light sleeper if you touch him). The warning sounds helped him (I think?) so I just stood over him making sure he didn't stop again.

Actually it's part of the reason we give him a paci to sleep now (reduces risk of SIDS)
And I totally thread jacked. So what did you decide? Did you wake him? Move him over?
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
@pastemoo: Oh my gosh. I wouldn't have been able to stop holding him!!
haha don't worry about it 
I asked the question so technically I thread jacked myself
I woke him, fed him some dinner, gave him a bath and nursed him and he went right to sleep! I was shocked. Normally he doesn't do that. Sweet thing!! I wore him right out!
