Awake times

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Hi ladies, I'm a lurker and I have a curiosity...

so my lo is 15 weeks old. He is sleeping great at night...sometimes he sleeps straight through and sometimes he will wake up once. Sorry not bragging and as far as that goes I feel lucky. The thing I am worrying about are his naps he takes about 3 to 4 ...30 min naps and he doesn't seem rested at all. I've looked up their awake window at this age but the info is very confusing. some sites say, 2 hours, others 60  to 90 min! I am also trying to follow his cues but honestly he rubs his eyes all day long...he rarely yawns! 

I would ask my ped but they are useless. So I was wondering what other moms experiences are. By the way he sleeps 12 hours at night and his bedtime is 730 pm or 8pm as in he's fully asleep by then....I'm thinking the problem might be he sleeps too much at night but I also figure this is the case because he doesn't sleep much during the day.

thank you ladies for your anticipated responses

    When my LO only takes a short nap and wakes up I try to soothe/rock him back to sleep. I find he does better when he sleeps at least an hour for naps. His awake times vary in the morning he is generally awake about an hour before he takes a nap. Then t

    My dd is a lot like yours. She is 16 weeks. She is in bed around 8p and awake around 8a. She might sleep all night or wake up once to eat.
    Her first nap comes quick. She is ready after an hour of being awake.
    She takes a nap between each fee

    1 hr of sleep is what they need at least. Anything before that is not enough sleep and they will wake tired and not well rested. A lot of it is the 45 min mark or even the 30 min mark is the end of a sleep cycle and babies don't know how to transition the

    My 17 week old can't last more than 90 minutes awake, and it's usually more like 60 minutes. Then he takes a 40-minute nap. Without fail, exactly 40 minutes. So, we end up doing 4-5 naps per day. I've tried EVERYthing to get him to nap longer, but he w

    My daughter is a few days shy of 5 months and she actually sleeps through the night (thank goodness...and I hope I don't jinx it), gets up somewhere around 7 and typically takes a nap around 9 for about 40 minutes, 12-1:00 for another 40...and then aft
