Let her sleep or wake her?

[phebee]

DD 26 months has had 2 late nights in a row now and consequently 2 sleep ins in the morning. She usually wakes around 6:30-7 but last 2 mornings have been 8. During the night last night she woke a few times and then this morning I discovered she had a cold. I put her down for her nap at 1pm but she didn't fall asleep until 3pm. She normally sleeps for 3 hours. If I let her do that she'll wake at 6 and then will have another late night, so I should wake her at 5, right? But since she has a cold should I just leave it? Not sure what to do.

I'd leave it. If she's sick she needs the sleep.

I'd probably wake her and out her back to bed in a couple of hours

I'd leave her if she's sick. It might throw bedtime out, but it's not the end of the world.

Another one who would let her sleep. Hope she gets better soon.

DH checked on her at 5 and she was already awake so we got her up and she's just happily gone to bed now at 7:50. Thanks for your advice ladies! I probably would have left her if she was still asleep at 5.

if its not shifting bedtime to 11pm, then i always let mine sleep.
