My 6mon old usually has 2hrs between naps. If she had only been awake an hour and starts rubbing eyes , yawing, the usual signs. Should I put her down anyway?? Or try to keep her awake until the 2hrs.

Question

Answer

If she’s tired, put her down. If you try to make her stay awake she will be overtired and fight it when she reaches the 2 hour mark.

Answer

At 6 months, our daughter had 3-3.5 hour awake times (with two 2-hour naps). I definitely wouldn't be putting her to sleep after only an hour UNLESS she didn't sleep well during her previous nap. We stick to our routines in our home.

Answer

Definitely go ahead and put her down if she shows signs of being tired. It's hell on earth if you try to keep them up and they are ready to nap. My little boy will just walk around crying but not let you put him down for a nap if I don't do it when he starts yawning and rubbing his eyes.
