Tell me what to do- baby napping

[undecidedowl]

DS2 (11 months) did not nap at all at daycare today. DH just texted that DS2 fell asleep on the 2 minute drive home. It's 5 pm. He usually goes to bed at 7 pm. WWYD?

Let him sleep for just a short while, like 15 minutes. Then bedtime as normal.

Can you make lots of noise and wake up him up "naturally"?

I'm sure my 3 yo would be happy to try.

I'd maybe drive around a little more to let him sleep, if that was possible. Maybe 10-15 minutes. Then wake him up and do the best I could to keep him up until his normal bedtime. I'd settle for 15-30 minutes earlier than normal bedtime if it came to that.

Does he normally nap okay at daycare? Did something weird happen today (like another kid was being loud and kept him awake?). I'd want to talk to daycare and see what happened....

Yup, catnap. 30 minutes, max. Then bedtime as usual, possibly a little early if needed.

No, he sleeps like shit at daycare, but usually at least 30 minutes midday. Supposedly, the room was just really busy today.

We let him sleep for 20 minutes and I'm rocking him now. Fingers crossed he sleeps, but usually a bad sleep day means a bad sleep night.
