Wake windows?

Question

My 5.5 month old can barely make it 2 hours before she needs another nap....but everything I read says she should be able to stay awake for 2.5-3 hours by now. I know every baby is different. And “for now” shes sleeping well at night...so I guess it’s okay. Just wondered if anyone else’s baby isn’t able to stay awake that long yet?

Answer

Mine is the same. Sometimes after her last nap of the day she can go a longer stretch but morning and afternoon it’s 1-2 hour wake windows. They go through a lot of growth Spurts. Just keep following baby’s sleep cues.

Answer

My little guy does 2 hours for just first wake window, then 2.5 hours for his second and right before bed he does 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours. He will be 6 months on Sunday.

Answer

My son hardly ever takes a nap and when he does its no longer then 30 min.
He still wakes up at least every 2 hours at night too
So count your blessings i wish my son would sleep

Answer

Mine is 1.5-2 hours

Answer

Mine gets tired like an hour and a half after being awake. I brought it up to my Dr and she said some babies are just like that

Answer

Usually between 2-2.5h but can stay up even 3h and also sometimes get tired after 1.5h 🤷‍♀️

Answer

My daughter will be 5 months on the 31st some days she’s up for 2 hours before needing a nap and some days she only makes it 1 1/2 hours. She sleeps great at night so I don’t worry about it. Like you said every baby is different! And they go through so many growth spurts so young

Answer

Mine was that way but I extended his wake windows by 5-10 minutes at a time. He can stay awake up to 3 hours now.

Answer

Same. Our first wake window is sometimes not even 2 hrs. The most he can go is 2.5 which is right before bed.
