Awake time for 6 month old
« on: November 01, 2006, 21:43:33 pm »
Hi!
I am trying to find it, but does anyone know the "appropriate" A time for an almost 6 month old? She usually goes anywhere from 2-3 hours. 
Thanks!

It is usally 2.75 to 3 hrs.  It sounds like you are on the right track!

thanks!  And, I am still doing the 4 easy (7-11-3-7).  She does well on that... so I am assuming that stays the same.  My book doesn't seem to say!

Yea, as long as that is working for your little one.  You may have a change around 8-9 months, when your little one is ready to drop to just 3 bottles a day.  But, for now, it sounds like you are doing great!

Sorry to hijack your thread but I also have an almost 6 mo and his awake time vary depending on the time of day. For example in the morning he wakes around 6ish and is then ready for a sleep after 1.5hrs - as the day goes on his A time increases up to 2.75hrs.

Is anyone else experiencing this or is this a well documented thing for babies?

My son is 8 months and tends to have a shorter awake time before the morning nap, then longer awake times for the rest of the day. As long as your little on is doing okay with the short morning activity, then I wouldn't worry about it.  If you start having shorter naps in the morning, then it might be time to extend your lo a little longer.
