How long are they awake between naps?

How long are your babies awake during the day in between naps? I am noticing that as the babies get older they are awake a lot more but I don't want them awake too long. I wonder if this has any affect on our nights. My DD is awake a lot more during the day and sleeps really good at night. My DS is asleep during the day and awake all night.

I am wondering how long to keep them awake between naps.
Any suggestions/Advice.

My girls are usually awake for 2 hours then sleep for one hour. I put them to bed about 8:30 or 9:00 and they wake up about 7:30 but they will stay content in their crib until about 9-9:30. They have had this schedule for about 2 months.

 

I try to keep mine awake no longer than 2 hours during the day. They are usually in bed for the night at 7pm. Aidan has been sleeping through (fingers crossed here) until 5am, drinking a bottle, then back to sleep for 2 hours or so. Ava is still waking once between 1 and 3, then sleeps til about 8 or so. Naps during the day vary. Usually there is a long one in the afternoon, and two shorter ones in the morning and evening.

We are still working on naps and things ... they are kind of all over the place but we're starting to get somewhat of a "schedule" going. They are colicky right now and scream and fuss at night, usually go down somewhere between 930 and 1030 at night, then up around 4 hours later to nurse, then down for another 4 hours or so, up around 6-7, nurse, back down for an hour or two, up, nurse ... then they have a morning nap around from 930 - 10 until around 11 or so, nurse, play, then in the swings for an afternoon nap around 1-2, if they ever go longer than about an hour and a half or two hours a nap I wake them up, they eat around 4-5, sleep for a little bit again, then at 6 the colicky fun starts.

I just let them make their own schedule and follow their cues but I always make sure to wake one if the other wakes so that they stay on the same schedule.

 

For the first nap they usually go back down 2-2.5 hours after they get up. The second nap they can stay awake a bit longer, but I do put them down no longer than 3 hours after they wake from their morning nap so that bedtime is not affected.

 

At two months my babies were awake between 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours between their naps and napping about 3 times a day.

Eventually that changed to about 2 hours and two naps a day probably by 5 months.
