Has anyone put their baby to bed between 5-6 to try to transition to 2 naps!?

Question

How did it work out for you?
He woke up at 2:15 from 2nd nap, he’s totaling 3 hours of nap sleep today (he woke up at 4:15am this morning which is why I want to drop the 3rd nap) 
what time would you put your baby to bed?

Answer

Ooh that's tough. Some people do put their babies to sleep between 5 and 6 but that's so early to me. If you did that your baby would only sleep until between 4 and 6 am anyway, right? They typically sleep 11 or 12 hours at night. Could you just offer a super short nap this afternoon to help make it to a 7 or 8 bedtime? And then on the days your baby takes a later second nap you wouldn't need the third nap.

Answer

Yup and he would sleep until 6 to 630 the next the morning sometimes later we generally do a 630 bedtime but if he is fussy it's off to bed early, I've done as early as 530pm before with no early wake ups. I would rather him have the opportunity to sleep longer since we can't let him sleep past 730am because we both work. I say do it, and see what happens 🤷‍♀️

Answer

We do 2 naps and baby goes down at 7. She is a great sleeper and those two naps are very long. Ideally:
7:30 wake 
9:30 bottle and nap time 
11:30/12 wake 
2:30 bottle and sleep 
4-5 wake 
7-7:30 sleep for the night 
I kind of followed her lead? And I didn’t even realize that we had transitioned to 2 naps until someone asked me and I had to think about it. It worked out good. If it’s thrown off at all and her wake window needs to be longer than 2 hrs before down for the night we add in a walk and a bath and she’s too busy playing to get fussy
