What time is your baby's last nap of the day?

Question

My daughter is getting really sleepy at 5:00, her usual bedtime is 7. When I put her down for a nap at 5, she wakes up at 6 still SUPER tired and really grumpy! I feel like 5 is way too early for bedtime, but it's a struggle to get her to make it until 7 after that last nap.

Answer

My bub wakes between 730/8 in the morning and naps at 10, 1 and 4 all for 40-60 mins at a time. Bed time is at 7/730. It took a bit to figure her out but now that we're on a schedule she's much easier to go down at night. Some babies just have a "witching hour" in the evening and your bub may be one of them sadly.

Answer

My son wakes up at 7:30am, takes first nap ( 1 hr.) at 10am, 2nd nap (45mins) at 3pm, 3rd nap (1 hr.) at 5pm and bed time is by 8:30 sometimes at 9pm (depending how early or late naps were) and doesn't wake up until the next day at 7 again.

Answer

Ugh this is us! I try so hard to get him to take a nap between 4-5 but it is sooo hard. He fights it so hard. We ended up starting bed at 6 last night because he refused to nap earlier and was cranky pants. I really don't want bedtime that early. I will be going back to work soon and I would like to actually see my son during the week.

Answer

I'm trying to form some kind of schedule for my son but right now it's not possible with his nap patterns. 👎

Answer

For us it's 3, but not because that's when we want it - she absolutely refuses after that. We try for no more than 2 hours awake at a time (6 months), but she gets up to 4 hours, sometimes a bit more, before bedtime.
