Need nap advice urgently!!!
« on: October 29, 2009, 15:33:59 pm »
 OK, so ds usually starts his day at 6 but we had an ew and I actually managed to get him back to sleep. We all ended up sleeping in until just after 6.30am. I put him down for his am nap at 9.30 but he didn't go to sleep until 9.45...he slept for 2 hours. ( I had to wake him)

 Anyways, its 3.30 now and I just got him off to sleep 5 mins ago, how long do I let him sleep for do you think? We are having some 2-1 issues and I really dont want to give him too much or not enough. He is only doing a 10/11 hour night at the moment so I'd also like to push bedtime out of I can but of course without risking OT or oversleeping him during the day iyswim.

 What do you think? I was going to get him at 4 and hope he's make it through until 6.30 tonight. Its been an unusual kinda day, I want it to end good though!

Sounds like an awesome nap!  I think he will be ok if you wake him by 4 since his AM nap was nice and long.  Calculate how much sleep he needs for his age range and how much he as already had today because you do have to protect his night sleep.
