Close to bedtime naps?

How close to bedtime do you usually let your LO nap?

Lauren has been napping late lately. She barely naps all day (it's a struggle) so by 5:30pm she wants to take a longer nap. I've been waking her up after an hour (by 6:30pm or so) but I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do. She goes to bed around 8:30pm so that's 2 hours before bed. I hate waking her, I always feel so bad, but I'm really afraid of how long she'll nap and how it will affect her sleeping at night...

Anyone's LO do this?

Mine does.... in fact she just tried to tonight around 7:45pm when she goes to bed at 8:30. I just took her upstairs and put her to bed early. I think, you're doing the right thing by waking her up, or else she'd have a rough time falling asleep later.

Jackson takes late naps. He will take a nap at 7:30 or 8 and goes to bed at 10. He occasionally naps as late as 8:30. These naps are usually only about a half hour long though.
