Do you let your 6 month old nap for as long as they want?

Question

I read on google that you shouldn’t let your baby sleep more than 2 hours or else it will effect their bedtime. I’ve been doing this, but I feel bad waking my daughter up and I’m not sure if I should be. 
What do you/did you do at that age?

Answer

I let me 6 month old twins sleep. They go to bed at the same time every night (730pm) and up at the same time every morning (7am) nap time is always the same time. I figure if they want to sleep longer, they can and probably need to. For example yesterday Baby B woke up at 7am, morning naps start 830 am, she woke up at 9:30, afternoon naps start at 1:30ish she napped for 3 hours and then back to bed at 730pm. She slept through the night and was a happy baby in the morning. Today, she got up at 7, nap at 8:30 woke up at 1030 and nap at 130, so far she has been down for 1.5 hours. 
Baby A is very regular with everything. Like 2.5 hour naps all the time and bed time and wake time is exactly the same. She always sleeps through the night as well. 
For me, I found if I stick with a regular routine for going to bed, the babies will regulate their sleep time and will get the sleep they need!

Answer

I’d honestly not wake them as tempting as it is...she’s probably going through a growth spurt

Answer

Never wake a sleeping baby - that’s my no.1 rule
