Baby woke from nap at 2:40pm. Awake since 7am. Another nap? Bedtime???

Question

My daughter woke at 7am, slept 10 mins at 10am and 2 hours at 12:30, waking up at 2:40pm. Lately shes been all over the place if she takes a late nap or early bedtime. How would you schedule this if it was you?

Answer

Bedtime 6:15 ish. Depending on how long your baby's typical wake window is before bed.

Answer

Our little guy is all over the map right now as well. We can usually manage to get him to sleep no later than 9pm even on really crazy, mixed up days. I'm not sure if it's a leap or because of teething. The other day we thought he was out for the count. At 1am he woke up and cried and wouldn't calm down or sleep. Eventually I just got up completely with him for a while and he calmed down around 3am. The next day he was back on schedule the full day. Then a few days later all out of whack again. Yesterday he needed a lot more sleep than usual. He didn't have a fever and wasnt acting sick. He just wanted to snuggle and sleep most of the day.  We keep a pretty steady schedule for him for wake up time, meal time, play time. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I just go with it when he switches it up and it goes back to normal pretty quickly.

Answer

Maybe try pushing the awake time in the morning so first nap is closer to 10:30?
My baby is in a pretty good/standard routine:
7am wake up
10:30 nap (for 30 mins) 
2/2:30 nap (1-2 hours)
Then bed time is between 7-730. Sometimes if we have a bad afternoon nap he goes to bed closer to 630.

Answer

My LO's schedule is as follows;
0700 wake up
0940 nap 20 min
1230 Lunch Nap (2 hours)
1900 bedtime
Some days he goes down later than usual but no more than 15min.
If he doesn't go down at all for the first nap I will put him down at 12 and let him sleep until 1430.

Answer

I wouldn’t put them down again. I’d do bedtime. If they are overtired by now I’d put them down earlier than normal.
