If your toddler is on a nap schedule...

and happnes to wake later then usual one morning...do u still put them down for the nap at the same time?

or do u bump nap time back? (if so how by how long?)

AND does this also affect the time they go to sleep at night that day too>?

Re: If your toddler is on a nap schedule...

I always try to keep her on the same schedule, no matter what

but her waking time does not vary more than 1 hour from day to day

example - miki wakes up betweem 7:30 (weekdays) - 8:30 (weekends) and she always takes her nap between 11:30-12pm

If we're at home, I try to keep him on the same schedule, if we're out and about I can hold him off. It usually won't effect his bed time at all- if anything maybe by a half hour.

Re: If your toddler is on a nap schedule...

I am going through this same thing today.

Jack for the last three days has been waking at 4:30-5:30 - then sleeping till 8am.

Normally he is up for the day at 5:30 and goes down for a nap at 12.

Today I put him down at 1. He is still up in his crib - I have absolutely no idea what will happen.
