LO tired after an hour

[nicole_]

is this normal?
hes 5 months and imo should be staying awak longer. i do an hour and a half between naps but i really have to drag that out to make it that far as after an hour hes rubbing his eyes, grumpy and visibily very tired. im a bit worried as he could stay awake this long 3 months ago and im sure he should be going longer now!

what are your 5 months old like?

H is exactly the same... To be honest I'm just going with it. He used to have longer naps of abt 2-2.5 hrs. Now it'll be anywhere from 45 mins- 1.5 hrs. So if he's tired again I just put him back down.

We aren't routined so we don't have anything to mess up so to speak. X

I wouldn't worry about it. Every baby is different.

My LO sometimes only goes 1.5hr and he's 6 months old xxx

Omar started to go longer between naps at 8.5 months. Earlier he used to nap every 1-1.5 hrs. Enjoy it as long as it lasts xx

I wouldn't worry.
Aleena sometimes goes 1 hour sometimes 2 sometimes 3, just depends on how much stimulation she's had etc.

yeah, it varies a lot for us... for a few days he was able to do 2-2.5 hours, but yesterday he could barely make it 1.5 hours.
I wouldn't worry!

Megan was the same at that age. At her 6 mo check her dr wanted me to try to push her naps apart further to see if she would nap longer. We waited til 7 mo as we were having a busy month and didn't want to have a crabby baby. Once we did she went down to 2 naps a day as she would refuse to sleep after 3pm but her 2naps were longer than they had been. And with no nap after 3 she started then to go to bed at 6pm at the latest. Some nights was as early as 5pm! LOL. So I would do what works for you and lo.
