5 month old naps

What does your nap schedule look like? My son typically can be awake for 90 minutes to 2 hours and then gets tired. Recently he has been taking really short naps, but he does go to bed pretty early 5:45-7pm, usually the earlier part of that. And sleeps really well through the night. (Wakes around 2-4am to sleep then goes back to sleep until 6/7am)

    My son is six months old but I'm recently put him on a nap "schedule".  He is a great napper and would take 3, 2 hour naps a day if I let him but it was starting to affect his nighttime sleep.  

    I wake him up from his morning nap after 30 min or 1 hour (he gets to sleep longer if he has an early wake up that morning). His afternoon nap is typically from 1:30-3:30 and I sometimes have to wake him up from that and his evening nap ends no later than 6 pm no matter when he falls asleep.  It usually ends up being 30 minutes.  His overnight sleep is usually from 8:30-8 am and his wake window is 2 hour-2.5 hours.

    My LO flip flops with his naps. He just turned 6 months today and he has 2 different types of days. He either consistently naps every 2-3 hours for 45 mins to 2 hours or he has days where he'll be awake for 3-4 hours without napping. Yesterday he was awake from 1-5 pm and only took a 10 min nap in between. I prefer the days with the consistent naps lol

    Just over 5 months and still sucks at napping over here. Lasts about 2 hours, sometimes less, in between. But naps are 20-30 minutes. He'll have one 1.5 hour nap once every day or two but I can never predict when it's going to happen which is annoying! 

    But he also doesn't sleep at night.  Lucky you! We somehow hit a second regression over here and are up every hour or two and have regressed in falling asleep on his own too. So frustrating!

    my LO has a pretty late bedtime at 10 every night it works great for us if she went to bed earlier DH would never have playtime with her. she wakes up every morning around 6:45 when DH gets up for work has a bottle and is asleep again by 8 she then sleeps until 9:30-10:30. and has a 30 min nap every two hours for the rest of the day. it's the best schedule for me I'm a SAHM and I take a small nap with her in the morning after DH leaves for work.
