Last nap of the day?

I suppose it depends whether you want an evening to yourself and early wake or later night and later wake based on 10/12hrs sleep overnight. We do bedtime at 6 then dream feed/feed at 9ish when we go up. Works for us as we don’t go to bed late anyway. I read when they’re really overtired/not napped well etc then don’t be afraid to bring bedtime forward by up to an hour so sometimes we end up doing bedtime around 5.30 which is a little early but they should be sleeping around 10/12 hrs at night anyway so I just expect an early wake up. My LG will start nursery in jan so will have to be up early anyway so hoping it will help then as she’ll be used to that wake up time xx

Oh thank you that’s really helpful. I think this will be her bedtime tonight as she obviously needs it and normally cries on a night anyway x thank you

I was just talking to hubby about it too and saying how it defo depends on what works for you, and saying how we personally would prefer the time to ourselves rather than a lay in but it sounds like your little one is ready for bed at that time anyway. We also go by what time her last nap is but generally try to stick to a 6pm bedtime so sometimes she will have a later nap and sometimes it is bedtime. Last week, it went abit all over the place one evening and i put livvy to bed at 5 which is earlier than normal as she was just so overtired and I wasn’t sure myself if it was last nap or bedtime but she stayed asleep so we were guided by her. She decided it was bedtime 🤷🏻‍♀️😂xx

My little girls last nap finishes usually around 4:45/5pm. Then I start bedtime routine at 6 and she’s in bed for 7pm. She wakes around2am for a feed then sleeps until 6.30/7am

this is literally our routine you works a treat x

Thanks everyone! She’s been asleep 5 hours with a dream feed in between so definitely needed it and me and the hubby managed to get an Indian and finish a series on Netflix 😁

I usually put my son down for 5 until 7:30 not past 8 and I keep him awake do some tummy time to tire him out give him a nice warm bath around 9:30 and by 10-10:30 he’s ready for bedtime he usually doesn’t wake up until 7 or 8 in the morning
