What time do you put your LO to bed

Question

I’m lucky enough to have a baby who sleeps through the night but she won’t take naps during the day... should I try putting her to sleep for the night later? She sleeps from like 6:30pm-7/8am... so I’m guessing she just sleeps so much at night she doesn’t need to nap?
She just gets cranky throughout the day and I’m not really sure what to do

Answer

My son usually goes to sleep around 7-730pm, and sleeps until around 7am with a dream feed in the middle. 
He has a nap in the morning that's maybe an hour or so, and then in the afternoon he naps for about 2+ hours.. and sometimes another one in the evening. 
If he doesn't nap during the day he's just a disaster

Answer

My little guy sleeps 7pm-7am and takes 3 naps (one 2 hour naps and 2,1 hour Naps) babies this age should be sleeping on average 15+ hours a day. It doesn’t sound like your baby is getting nearly enough sleep.

Answer

Definitely needs naps. If they’re fighting it, likely have already gotten too tired. My kids both fought sleep soooo bad if they got too tired.

Answer

My daughter goes down between 7-7:30pm and is sleeping 11-12 hours straight thru. But she definitely needs naps and her wake windows are 1.5-2 hours before she is ready to nap. She is almost 14 weeks so sometimes her naps are a little shorter 30-45 minutes, but can sometimes be 1.5-1.75 hours (I keep them all under 2 hours). It is much harder to put her down for naps if she is over tired. And sometimes she wakes up turning naps and tosses/turns but I try to give her 5-10 minutes and she usually finds her comfort zone and falls back asleep. Unless crying I give her that time to try and fall back asleep. I also try to have almost all naps in her crib, but it’s not always possible. But she is still napping 4 times a day, and this mommy NEEDS that time!

Answer

Make sure you offer naps after appropriate wake window. Also do it in a dark room with white noise

Answer

I didn’t get to read other commenters but I would try putting her to nap before she tried to fight it. It’s surprising how quickly a happy and awake baby can fall asleep when the timing is right!

Answer

Whenever I go to bed, so between 9.30-10.30

Answer

My daughter goes to bed between 9:30-10:30 sleeps until 5 AM wakes up to feed and then she’s back down until 8:30-9. Her wake windows during the day are around 60-90 minutes and then she’s back down for a nap. She’s 12 weeks

Answer

My baby falls asleep at like 9 or 10 and wakes up at 10ish some days 11 but wakes up throughout the night and he takes 2 long naps during the day and some small cat naps sometimes

Answer

My LO sleeps the same. He only takes maybe 3/4 naps a day but only 30 to 60 minutes at a time. 
Naps are needed but I don’t think he needs a ton as he gets a ton of sleep during the night. He takes a nap about every 2 hours now.
