    Default Do you wake babies?

    Have a non sleeper at 12 months who slept the whole night for the first time last night then I put him down at 930 he is still asleep now at 1- I think I'm going to wake him.

    What would you do?

    In this case yes I would, he's had quite a long sleep and I would wake him so he doesn't miss his lunch.

    I do prefer not to wake a child of any age but will if I have to for school runs or they need feeding.

    I think I'd wake too after this long. And I'd also brace myself for whatever illness is the probable cause of the extra need for sleep!

    At the moment I'm trying to keep myself awake... 3 very hard weeks. Weeks like this make me want to pack it all in 2 X 2 year olds who NEVER get along screaming fighting hurting each other I have tried and getting nowhere but in a coma by Friday rant over

    Never an issue here. We're never more than 20 minutes away from some complete selfish 's car/house alarm going off. Oh, the peace and quiet of rural England.

    I love nap time, they all go down together for at least an hour up to 2 hours and I get a lunch break and time to sit down and chill!

    My 5 year old had 3 hour naps til he was 2.5 and my 21 month old would too if there was time! I put him down straight after lunch and nursery run at 12.30 and wake him at 2.30pm to get him ready for the school run.
