    Awake anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours.  Typically 60-90 minutes.

    He usually has one "long" nap during the day that's between 1 and 2 hours and the rest of the naps are under an hour.

    Keeping her awake probably won't help. . . and it might even backfire.

    Do you have a routine for naptimes?  If my DS just doses off somewhere, it's usually a shorter nap, but if he's put down in his crib and lightly swaddled, it will be one of the logner naps.

    My daughter sleeps for 3-4 hours and is awake about 2-3 hours.

    My LO is awake for an hour or two tops between naps. It depends on where he is napping how long he'll sleep.

    I've started writing it down since i haven't been seeing a pattern. But usually he'll do 30mins up to 2 hour naps during the day and he's up for about an hour or so inbetween sometimes less. A few days he doesn't get a long nap in and that means he's going to have a crappy night b/c he's overtired.

    he probably sleeps a total of 1-2 hours from 9am until 7pm (minus today...he has an eye infection that I have a feeling has knocked him out).  I let him sleep when he wants, and when he wakes up (shortly after falling asleep) we "play" on his activity gym or take a walk or just dance around while he fusses.  The great thing is that he sleeps about 5-6 hours at a time at night now, so I don't think his day time sleeping is having any effect on him.

    During the day, she'll sleep for about 2 1/2 hours, then she's up for about 2 hours, but she sleeps longer at night. Last night she slept from 1am to 6am. We kept getting up anyway to check her, but she was sound asleep the entire time.

    Alexandra isn't quite 8 weeks but she's up for about an hour and twenty, thirty minutes, and that includes eating, diaper change, play, cuddling and falling asleep after I've swaddled her. She'll sleep anywhere from 1 - 2 hours, sometimes less or more.
