Do you let your baby nap as long as they want or do you wake them after a certain amount of time?

Question

My LO has been taking realllllllly long naps this week. Like 2-3 hour naps. Not sure if it’s a growth spurt or what. I thought it would effect his sleep last night but he actually slept better than he usually does.

Answer

Right now he’s getting over a cold so I’m letting him sleep as much as possible. When he goes over two hours I make less of an effort to keep the house quiet and he usually will wake up on his own when our dogs start running around or something

Answer

"Sleep begets sleep" good daytime sleep usually helps with good nighttime sleep.

Answer

I let my son sleep but rarely get over an hour and I’ve never come close to two hours so
It maybe different if he were napping that long!

Answer

Only if her last nap runs past 5pm. Her bedtime is 7, so I want her awake for 2 hrs beforehand

Answer

I only cap her last nap

Answer

During the day, I’ll let him nap as long as he wants (usually two hours max) but after 6pm I try to keep him up and let him cat nap if he is really fussy.
