LO is 4.5 months old and I generally put him down for a nap after about 60-75 minutes of awake time. I feel like most babies his age can stay up for longer, but he almost always falls right to sleep so I figure he must be tired!

7 months and they are usually awake 2-2.5 hours. Longer before bed, since they are down to 3 naps. It's so much easier to do things now that they don't need to sleep so frequently, and their schedules are starting to align more!
@hilsy85: don't sweat it. My kids always needed to sleep more frequently than they 'should' at any given age. We just got off 90 min awake times about a month ago!

I was wondering this today....my Lo is 16 weeks and has been at a 90 min awake time since 12 weeks. She was taking 2 2 hour naps but lately they havr been very short, 30-45 mins. I read that when naps are getting shorter they might need a longer awake time, so wondering if I should increase it, but she is tired by the 90 min point and goes down easy as well so I dunno...

LO is 4 months and has 90 minutes of awake time. She usually falls asleep within 10 mins of putting her down.
-
LO is 6 months and is awake 90 minutes to 2 hours then 2.5 or so before bedtime. She gets cranky and showing tired signs within the window so I put her down. I figure she will have longer awake intervals when she is ready.
-
LO is one week from 10 months. Since about 6 months she's been on a loose 2-3-4 schedule. First wake period is 2 hours (usually 1.5), second is 3 hours, and third is 4 hours.
-
E is 9months and on weekends his awake time is 2-2.5 hrs. On weekdays at daycare all that goes out the window and he'll stay awake for 6 hours, ugh.
-
@NovBaby1112: hmm interesting about possiby needing to increase awake times! I hate to keep him up if he's obviously tired...
@MerryC: I can't wait til we get down to a solid 3 naps a day!

Ohmygod this is such a sensitive subject for us. DS is 13 weeks and just pulled a 4-hour stretch this morning, which is, sadly, not that uncommon. I start looking for sleep signals/attempting his nap routine after 90 minutes of wake time, but he fights naps SO hard that his actual wake time is much longer. At least once a week he does a 4-hour stretch. But on average? Maybe 2-2.5 hours.
DD, also 13 weeks, can go 60-90 minutes, tops. -
He's almost 7 months and his normal awake time is only 90 minutes. His last awake period before bed is usually closer to 2 hours, but any longer than that he starts getting really cranky. I'd love it if he would stay awake longer/nap longer but I'm following his lead.
-
90 minutes was about right for us at 4.5 months. At 6 months it was up to 2 with maybe a 3 hr stretch before bed.
At 9.5 months he's on a 2.5, 3.5, 4 ish schedule (2 naps) and his naps are 1.5-2 hrs.
-
5 months and her awake time is usually 2 -21/2 hours. She's not a very good napper though!
-
Seems like there really is a range! But I guess my guy is just a bit sleepier than most
-
LO's usually awake about 90minutes-2 hours between naps at 6 months old. We started doing this after I got off of maternity leave. I wished we did that sooner. It's been easier to judge his tiredness better.
-
@hilsy85: at that age, LO had really short awake times too. She needed so many naps...i think she napped for a total of 5 hours a day! Now at 10.5 months, her awake times are 3 hours. I know in the morning she could go down at 2.5 hours, but i am trying to get her ready for daycare's 1 nap schedule!
-
He's up about 1.5-2 hours. First thing in the morning we like to put him down for his first nap after he's only been up for an hour. He's 4.5 months old.
-
14 weeks, average time is 90 min. and then upwards of 2 hours in that last nap/bedtime gray fuzzy area.
-
Almost 14 months, I notice he shows signs of being tired after 3-4 hours of awake time. Right now he is fighting us on 2 naps a day, he seems to prefer 1 but is a total beast by dinner when he does that.
-
LO is coming up on five months and her awake time is between 1.5 and 2 hours usually. Bedtime is around 1930 and I try to have her still napping at 1600 but she can cope with a four hour wake time right before bed if she's slept well during the day.
-
At 9 weeks its 60-90 min.
-
E is almost 5 months old and is awake 1.5-2 hours between naps. It's usually pretty close to the 1:45 mark.
