When baby falls asleep for a late nap..

Question

My LO usually goes to bed around 7 but he wouldn’t go down for his last nap and fell asleep at 6...now that’s it’s 630 should I wake him and play for a bit, let him sleep until he wakes or let him sleep and try to dreamfeed before I go to bed

Answer

My baby never takes his last nap cause he fights it so I tell him tough luck because bedtime is 7-730 lol no nap close to bedtime for me. It'll just make my son too crabby & fight his sleep

Answer

This happened to us tonight. My baby fell asleep at 5:45 so I woke her up at 6:30 so we could do 8pm bedtime routine.

Answer

So he woke himself after 40 mins but when I tried bringing him downstairs for play he fussed so I brought him right back up, put him in pjs and nursed him and back in his crib he went 👍🏻 but yes it probably won’t always be that easy if it happens again.

Answer

This question is my nightly battle lol. We wake him after 30-40 mins then eat then maybe play for a bit unless he's whiney. If he's whiney we just get him ready for bed. I honestly haven't seen a huge difference in how either situation affects his nighttime sleep since he's a terrible sleeper regardless 🙄

Answer

I am currently in this exact same situation 🙄

Answer

I personally would wake him in 30 min and let him play and eat for his normal wake time and then start bed time
