how long does your 3 month old stay up during the day?

LAST QUESTION I swear! Colin can only go about 1 hour awake and then naps 40 minutes, eats, plays, repeat. When will he start staying up longer periods of time?

MIne usually go about 1-2 hours. I heard they shouldn't be awake for any longer than 2 hours at this age and I know mine get cranky if they go past 2. He will probably start staying awake longer soon!

3-4 hours usually.

DD is awake for about 1.25-1.5 hours between naps. Any longer and she gets way cranky and fights the nap.

Just enjoy it. In about a month, she'll want to stay up all day long!

We follow the 2 hour wakefullness routine... i.e. he's never awake for longer than 2 hours... sometimes even 1.5. That is what I have read is appropriate for 3-4 months old... any longer and he gets CRANKY!
