2 mo - how long is LO awake btw naps?

CannyGirl · March 2011

Just curious...how long does your 2 month old normally stay awake between naps (including feeding, changing diaper, play, etc)?

mchupie · March 2011

About an hour and 15 minutes. If she hasn't fallen asleep on her own I usually put her down when she has been awake for an hour and she falls asleep within 15 min.

same here.. about an hour, then back to bed.

90 min at the most.

Anywhere from an hour to 2 hours, sometimes in the evening (after 7pm) they stay awake up to 3-4 hours refusing to go to sleep and can get pretty miserable... it's their fussy time.

I try for no more than 1.5 hours but sometimes she just.wont.nap so it might be more like 2 (or sometimes 3!!) hours.

Our LO really struggles with napping. Unless the stars align, we may be looking at up to 5 hours of mostly awake with just a few minutes of catnaps before he wakes again. He gets quite cranky, poor guy. He does best when he gets a good nap after about 90 min awake.

At 2 mos it was 40-60 min. Now it's 60-75 min.

LO takes two 45 minute cat naps and usually takes a 2-3 hour nap at noon. He's up more during the day, but ever since DH has been on vacation these past two weeks, LO hasn't taken his long mid-day nap like he's supposed to.

Now, he complains LO is cranky most of the day and won't nap beyond an hour at a time. Gee, LO didn't do that when I was home for two months straight with him. GRRR.

Same here...worst part is when the nap is then only 15 mins!!

This. I start to get her ready for naptime (swaddle, etc) at exactly 60 min... My LO hates sleep and fights it every time.

This exactly. Though DS's fussy evenings have been less and less this last week.

DD probably naps well once a week, and she's up no more than 90 minutes that one day. The other days of the week it's around 4-5 hours and then the nap is only 30 minutes at most! Six days of the week are pretty rough, because she becomes a bear without her naps. I feel like I spend a majority of the day trying to get her to sleep because she's too cranky to play with.

a few 15 minute catnaps throughout the day and then he wants to snooze out around 5pm which is not cool so we actually try and keep him awake at that time but he usually wins and sneaks in an hour or so, then he's up for about an hour and a half and falls asleep again...so...he's pretty much up from 9:45am till 5pm with random catnaps in between. it's a disaster.

Conner is the king of catnapping sooo he usually naps for 10 minutes here & 30 minutes there & soo on but around 11 he takes an 1-2 hour nap.
