60 minutes minimum is what satisfies me. If my baby naps less than that, I let out a huge sigh.

It doesn't matter how long I wish she'd nap. She never does more than 20 minutes, like clockwork.

I like to see at least one sleep cycle (~45 minutes). Ideally, two or more!!

I like 1-1.5 hours minimum. At the very least an hour. I agree with Rubies that I sigh if it's less than that.

When he was a baby it was an hour. Now it's an hour and a half. Less than that and I want to cry!

Haha... anything over 30 is completely amazing. She hates napping. I would loveeee to get an hour nap out of her!

These days, 61 minutes is acceptable, less than that, same as @Rubies: I let out a big sigh and try to will her back to sleep through the monitor.
Ideally I like a 90 minute to 2 hour nap.

I'm happy with 30 minutes for the baby. Any less, and I get cranky. An hour makes me really happy.

1.5 hours is ideal for DS, but I'm okay if he gets 45 minutes. 30 minutes and I cringe!

I'll take 45 min as a bare minimum. If he sleeps longer than an hour I feel like I hit the jackpot.

Less than 30 mins and we will have a shit day. Over an hour and i feel refreshed.

It took me awhile, but I've finally accepted DDs 30 min naps. Anything more is bonus.

60 minutes. A good nap for her is 1hr 15, anything more than that is amazing. But she still does a lot of 45 minute naps which drive me crazy.

An hour is acceptable, 1.5 is normal, 2+ is rare but totally awesome.

For the infant age, i was okay with 1 hour.
At the toddler age, 1.5 hours. But i let out a sigh if it's less than 2 hours!

Wow, you'd be sighing a lot in our house! Anything over 30 minutes is a huge win for me - but I've stopped looking at the clock now because it just made me grumpy! If she's ready to get up, so be it!

90 minutes is what makes her happy, so I prefer at least that but she does best with 2 hours!

60-90 minutes. DH always, always wants LO to sleep 2 hours for his naps. I'm okay with 90 minutes, an hour is okay, but LO gets moody without at least an hour.

@MapleMoose: Us too! 30 minutes is a win in our house, anything longer than that gets some major celebration!

Over an hour. But she's a good napper these days, napped 2 hours this morning and is an hour and 40 min into her second nap today.
