My LO is 9 weeks old and she ranges from 1-2 hrs between her naps. And if it's on the side of 2 hrs, she's super cranky and overtired at that point.

My LO is 6 months and she is usually awake 1 hour before she is ready for her next nap. She is usually up 1.5 to 2 hours after her third nap before bedtime but she is really struggling. I've tried keeping her up longer than an hour and she does not nap well if we do that. She is the typical "easy" baby and won't get upset if we keep her up but then she'll have short naps/early awakenings. So I'd rather respect her natural sleep signs and put her down when she is tired and allow her to nap 1.5-2 hours rather than 20-30 minutes

She takes her first nap 3 hours after she wakes.
I'm trying to get her to take one nap now since her 2nd nap causes her to stay awake until 8:30pm!
She went down at 6:17pm today because she only had one nap and she went swimming!

She's 10 months. She's up for two hours after waking and her second nap, but then 4 hours until bed time.

@MrsHotDog: I get so relieved when I hear there are other babies that sleep this much bc sometimes I worry she sleeps too much...her pediatrician says let her sleep as much as she wants and she will eventually increase her awake time.

Other babies at 6 months are awake 2-3 hours and my LO is only awake for 1 hour between her naps and still takes 3 naps that are 1.5-2 hours. She is awake 1.5-2 hours before bedtime which is around 6:00-6:30 and she wakes up between 7:00-8:00.

We just transitioned from 3 long naps and a catnap to just 3 naps but I guess I won't try to push her to 2 naps anytime soon bc it sounds like at 10 months she could still be taking 3 naps.

@sandy: I definitely wouldn't worry if I were you, just enjoy it! We had to go to the pediciatrician a few weeks ago because we thought she might be having night terrors. The pedi asked about her sleeping habits and when I told her, she was surprised but she said that it is great that she still sleeps so much because sleep is so good for them. And she also told me that she was happy to hear that I didn't interfer with her natural sleepig habits - which was really nice to hear since I was getting comments from grandparents and even other moms about how much I let her sleep! I kept telling them that I didn't have a choice because she makes it very clear she is ready for a nap but now it is nice to be able to tell them that her doctor supports her sleep and that every baby requires a different amount of sleep.

My 8.5 month old wakes around 7, takes a 30 minute nap around 9, then 3.5ish hours later is ready for a 2 hour afternoon nap. He usually does not take a third nap but goes to bed around 7ish.

My son is 2 and he's awake 6 hours before his nap. Then he's awake 5 hours before bedtime.

sounds similar to my 3 month old!
He lasts about 1.5 hours in the morning before his morning nap, then maybe two hours in the afternoon. IF he takes a 2-2.5 hour nap BOTH naps then that's all the sleep he needs, but often he has one long nap, and two short 30-45 minute naps instead.
