Baby is 12 months. Usually sleeps from about 18.30 to 5.30 and that's her up for the day. She's still asleep, didn't wake during the night, should I wake her??

It took me back over 30 years. Happy times...

DD slept in until 8:15am yesterday.. great! Or so I thought!

It completely threw her routine, and was awake until 8:30pm when she's usually asleep for 7pm.

Today I've woken her up at 7am! Not having another evening like last night! Grin

Oh man I remember those days. The window of "this is great, I'm having my breakfast in peace" before "OMG what has happened to them" is about 20 minutes.

The only time I would wake a sleeping baby is during a day time nap if they'd been asleep too long. Night time? not a chance!

I have teenagers now. They don't awake til noon at weekends.

Re never wake a sleeping baby I'd disagree when they are young - ds would have happily slept through all his feeds as a

As a newborn was what I was about to say. Unfortunately this hasn't meant now he doesn't need to wake he sleeps!

My 5 year old is still asleep - normally a 6am waker. We're all creeping around the house trying to be quiet (the 7yo got up at 6am and we have a busy day ahead so lie-ins weren't an option). Make the most of it!

I'm still like this with ds1 and he's 11. He sleeps past 6am so rarely (think maybe 10 times in 11 years) that when he does I worry there's a problem. Blush

Never wake a sleeping baby!

Unless they are clearly ill or hot to the touch...

I would. If she sleeps well at night you need to do what ever needs to be done to keep that going.
