From His
Do you wake your toddler from his afternoon nap so he will stay on schedule?
- we have to do it almost every time.
- if we let him nap to his heart’s content he would be climbing the walls at midnight.
- is it ok to wake from naps?
Yes, unless he’s ill or very tired for some other reason.
Depends on your son but I wake mine gently after an hour if he’s sleeping after 2pm, and after about 30 minutes if he’s sleeping after 4pm. He doesn’t normally sleep in the morning, but if he does I normally let him wake up himself (although I’d wake him if he slept more than an hour and a half, but he never does during the day). He goes to bed around 8/ 8.30.
He’s 2 now and most days he doesn’t sleep during the day. Took us ages to work this out — for us, sleep definitely didn’t beget sleep.
