If your LO isn’t ready to drop their second nap would you wake them up early from there first?

Question

🤷‍♀️ my LO only had one nap last week and refused his second, he woke up later then usual that day🎉 but then was awake for like 7 hours and was super fussy for bed time😅 he slept in a bit today and I’m debating if I should wake him up for his first nap so he’d be able to take a nap later? Idk what to do😅

Answer

I know they say ‘don’t wake a sleeping baby’ but I do! 🙈 it’s all about their sleep in 24 hrs. Mine sleeps usually 11 hours at night (I would wake her after 12 but that never happens!) and I wake her up from a nap if it’s been 2 hrs with 2-5-3 hrs max total during the day. I always follow the same wake windows (3-4) hours and she should be tired for the next nap still

Answer

I don’t wake him wake him I kind just start doing things in that room to get him to naturally wake up if he doesn’t I leave him I noticed that after naps he usually wakes up knowing how to do what I taught him before his nap

Answer

I would never wake mine!

Answer

Doesn’t happen often but we’ll wake her up or she’s been napping for 2 hours

Answer

You could either wake them up early or do a short nap in the afternoon (30ish min) and a slightly later bed time.
