I would stick to routine as much as possible.  In my experience it's far harder to settle an overtired baby.

With my DD even as she got older I still stuck with the late afternoon nap and would sometimes have to wake her after 45 minutes (which was so hard considering at all other naps she hardly slept that long and I felt so mean waking her) but she always went down so well at 7pm and slept right through till 7am. This was following the Baby Whisperer EASY routine.]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 07:39:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29361&PID=806764&title=what-would-you-do#806764 <![CDATA[what would you do ? : My babe is 11 weeks old and I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29361&PID=806615&title=what-would-you-do#806615 Author: HippyMama

My babe is 11 weeks old and I let her take the lead, she dozes on and off in short bursts from 5pm onwards and if I'm not feeding her I put her in a sling and just carry on - that way if she wants to sleep she can sleep. Bedtime is about 9pm with a dreamfeed around 10:30pm, but this too can vary - babies at this age can and will change things often and according to their needs. Nothing wrong with going with the flow to meet those needs, do what works and causes you and your boy the least stress.

My 10 week old can only manage 30mins up so she'd be back in bed at 4.45 latest for a final nap. At that time of the day she just does a 45min nap so I start the bedtime routine when she wakes and she is down for the night between 6 and 7.]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:34:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29361&PID=806612&title=what-would-you-do#806612 <![CDATA[what would you do ? : I have never been able to put...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29361&PID=806593&title=what-would-you-do#806593 Author: Katep

I have never been able to put my girl (3months) down for sleep after 4pm. I talked to plunket about it and the nurse seemed to think it was reasonably normal as they like to begin cluster feeding. SO we just have lots of small feeds, cuddles and 5 minutes naps until bed time which is between 7-8pm-ish. ]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:17:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29361&PID=806593&title=what-would-you-do#806593 <![CDATA[what would you do ? : I&#039;d stick with routine, kids...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29361&PID=806588&title=what-would-you-do#806588 Author: emz

I'd stick with routine, kids generally learn (after a long time of repetition) that bedtime is set and naps work around it.]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:13:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29361&PID=806588&title=what-would-you-do#806588 <![CDATA[what would you do ? : Why don&#039;t you try putting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29361&PID=806583&title=what-would-you-do#806583 Author: Rachael21

if your 10 week old bubs wakes at 4pm from afternoon nap.. would you keep to usual routine and put them down at 5.30ish .....

or try to keep them up (possibly becomming over tired) for the night time nap which is about 7.30-8pm

Im finding this happening more and more.. and tonight I went with the 'hold him out' and he didnt settle and go down until 8.45pm !!!
