I'm curious. LO is 3mths and after 1hr15 she starts to yawn and it's time to get her down for a nap. It feels like there's not a whole lot of time between feeding and napping.

My daughter is 9 weeks old and her max awake is 2 hours but that is seriously pushing it. Normally, 1 hour or 1.5 hours.

C is 4.5 months and it's not much longer. It does stretch our throughout the day- so first nap is between 1-1.5 hours after wakeup-- all we do is change, eat, snuggle for a limit me bit and back down. After that, depending on nap lengths, it's usually 1.5-2 hours, sometime 3 before bed but she's really getting tired then.

For the longest time my LOs awake time was 45-1 hour--all the way up til 4.5 months or so! Now at 13.5 months he CAN stay up pretty much all day--but it's not pretty! Ideal awake time is 3-4 hours.

G is 5.5 months and she usually goes 2-3 hours between naps. She's always been a ridiculously awake baby

@Foodnerd81: hers is similar right before bed--she might stay awake 2hrs or so before she's ready to go to sleep.

DS is 4.5 months and he's awake for 1.5-2 hours before he's ready to nap again. He can be up for 4 hours before bed time, but he's pretty darn tired by then.

LO's awake period around 3 months was about the same--you're right, it's really not a lot of time! i felt like his ideal awake time was shorter than other babies for quite a while. even now, at 11 months, 4 hours is really pushing it--2 to 3 is much safer.

@illumina: That sounds pretty normal to me! I think my LO's awake time went up to 90 minutes at the 12 week mark.

My LO is 5 months and she is exactly 3 hours - gets up at 6 am, naps 9, 12, 3 and in bed at 6. And I didn't schedule her or anything, that is just how it wound up. She was about the same as yours at 3 months - lots of naps, quite a lot of short naps and a couple of hour + naps. She also went to bed later then - around 10 pm.

LO is 4 months and we are just starting to get an hour and 15 mins of awake time. It has been 45 minutes to an hour for awhile. I also feel like there isn't much awake time! It also makes for lots of naps. We just went from 5 to 4 naps in the last couple weeks.

Mine's three months too and I have to start getting her down at 55 min and she's asleep at 1 hr 15 min. Mind you, she only takes 35-45 min naps.

Four months old and only now doing about 1h15m even though she can stretch it to 2+ hours if we are out and about.

2 months and 2-4 hours awake between naps because she fights daytime sleep. And her naps are 20-40 minutes long. My days are exhausting!

LO is 2 months tomorrow and 1.5 hrs is usually when the yawns start but she fights naps so hard that she is usually awake at least 2 hrs. We often skip the last nap before bed & do bath or books between the last two feedings instead, and she doesn't get too cranky. That's usually a 3.5 hr stretch & then she is really tired. She does take micro naps while nursing but I don't count those.

At 3 months, Xander would usually stay up for 2 hours before needing a nap. But now at 9.5 months, he stays up for 3 hours.
