Awake time between naps

Good morning - 

I'm just curious, how long is your 4 month old awake between naps?  DD's still pretty much 90 minutes, but the last week she's been fighting naps even after giving many drowsy signals.  When I've tried keeping her up and playing a bit longer, she ends up cranky. TIA

    Same, usually around 90 minutes. Some times closer to 2 hours but not often.

    we have been at around 90 min awake time for a couple months now. she just started going longer before her last nap -- she'll go two hours then & the nap is very short (30 min) and then she is up again for the rest of the evening until bedtime (which is about 2.5-3 hours)

    Just recently, it has been about 2 hours (sometimes more).  It was only an hour and a half max about 2 weeks ago.

    about 2 hours of awake time, then a nap.  He's been that way for awhile now.

    Guideline for Awake time for babies
    Newborn 50-60 mins
    1 month 60 mins-hour and 15
    2 months 1 hour and 15 - 20 mins
    3 months 1 hour and 20 - 30 mins
    4 months 1 hour and 45 - 2 hours
    5 months 2 hours - 2.25 hours
    Late 5 months/early 6 months 2.25-2.5 hours
    6.5 - 7 months 2.75-3 hours. Some are getting more.
    8 - 10 months 3 - 4 hours. Some are getting more.
    11 - 12 months 3.5 -4.5 hours. Some are getting more if moved early to 1 nap

    Don't forget this includes everything not sleeping, like feeding, diapering, playing, and the time it takes to fall asleep.
