how long is your LO up at a time?

I think I keep him up too long sometimes (90-120 min before starting to get him to sleep) and he just FIGHTS it!! He cries to sleep whether I hold him or not. Not for long, but still...

I just tried getting him to sleep after an hour awake time and it went better! Still cried, but not as bad.

often he's up 4 hrs at a time. It's horrible. He falls asleep eating, but then he wakes up when I put him in the crib. I try lots of things to no avail. Usually the 4th try it works.

But...he's sleeping longer at night, which is awesome! Last night he slept 9:30-3:30 and again 4:15-7:00!

ETA: he was up 7-10:45am today. I tried to put him down 4 times at different times in the morning. He then slept for 45 minutes. I was so pissed it wasn't longer, but I fed him and he went to sleep again, which he is now. So hopefully this will be a real nap!

around 1 and a half hours, i'll swaddle and nurse him and rock him to sleep. two hours is too long and the past couple days he's slept for 2 hours at each nap

Our guy is so unpredictable...sometimes it is 90 min other times he can go 3 hours. We now wait for him to yawn 3 times....like 3 strikes your out kinda deal and then to the crib with his binky he goes. Most of the time he is asleep within 5-10 min and sleeps anywhere from 30 min to an hour, but he has always been a catnapper. I can count on one hand the number of times he has taken a 2 hour nap...just not in his blood I guess.

This. when he starts to seem tired (gets fussy, yawns, his eyes get tired,etc) I immediately swaddle, give him a binky, & put him in his crib. He usually falls asleep before I even finish the swaddle. Sometimes I'll put him in his swing, and he'll fall asleep there.

Usually an hour, 2 at the MOST.

I usually watch her cues. She will yawn then rub her eye. When grabs on to her ear I know it's time to pick her up and try to get her to sleep. If I wait too long she fights it tooth an nail and takes a crappy nap and wakes up pissed. If I time it right she's nap a little longer. If she doesn't sleep longer she at least wakes up in a good mood.

1.5 hours at the most...and i always lay him down awake. He falls asleep within minutes. the only time he fights it is at night right before his bedtime.

I am pretty much in this boat too. The lack of napping is enough to drive me crazy. She gets so cranky.
