How old is your LO and how long after he/she wakes up does his/her first nap of the day start?
My LO is almost 6 months old and can still only go about 1 hour-1 hour 15 minutes before she's ready for her first nap.

Mine is 8 months and she is just now holding out for 2 hours, and that's pushing it. At 6 months it was never more than 1.5 hours, often less.

D is 2 months and he goes about 1.5-2 hours. Usually around the 1.5 mark he starts getting cranky, but it can take a while to get him to sleep.

About five hours for my 2 year old and three hours for the 9 month old.

3 hours
14 months, DS wakes at 8am, takes his first nap around 11am, his second at 3pm, and goes down 7-8.
We tired moving him to one nap over the weekend and he can go longer awake, but doesn't sleep long on one nap, so we're keeping him on two for as long as he doesn't fight it!

C is 6 months today (!) and she's been going about 1.5 - 2 hours before her first nap, give or take. If she wakes up really early in the morning, she sometimes snoozes as I'm nursing her, so then she might go a little longer before the first nap and stay a little closer to our usual schedule.
Depending how long the first nap is, she takes 2 or 3 naps a day. I find that first nap is usually longer if we stretch that first wake time to closer to 2 hours, but not if we let her get overtired. Fun.

4 months, almost 2hrs. Weirdly that seems to be her longest stretch of awake time!

13 months old and usually 3.5-4 hours before his first nap.
He can go up to 5-6 hours and still be ok in the pm.

Almost 18 months (geeeez) and usually between 3-4 hrs. Yesterday it was 4, today it was 3. Random days it's more like 2.5, but it depends on how well he slept the night before. I just sort of roll with it...he lets me know when he's ready.

Just barely 2 hours at 8 months, less if he didn't sleep well overnight.

Around 1.5 hours. Sometimes its at the 1hr mark, and sometimes we can push it a little longer.

23 months and he wakes up around 8am, goes down at 1-1:30pm, so 5-5.5 hours? It's about the same for when he wakes up from nap to go down for bed, 5-6 hours.

4 months. An hour if she wakes up early, two hours if she sleeps in. I try to convince her this means she should always sleep till 8, but she doesn't seem to listen.

3 months & she is ready for a nap at the 1 hr mark. She goes 1.5-2 hrs between her other naps.

11 months and I'm not sure since we are always out and about and she takes cat naps in the car....I've seen her go 5 hours before a nap though!

12.5 months and we just started on one nap instead of two. So while she would happily go to sleep 2 hours after waking, she now goes 4-5.
