: My 5 month old needs to nap after only 1.5 hours of awake time during the day. Shouldn't he be able to stay up longer? He sleeps 11 hours at night. Actually, that is totally normal for your son to only be awake for 1 1/2 hrs before napping. Babies this age cannot usually go more than 2 hrs. before getting overtired and cranky. My son who is 5 months is the same way, and will usually nap for about 45 min- 1 hr at a time.

But my son does not consistently sleep through the night. He will sleep anywhere from 8-11 hrs at a time.
I think when a baby gets closer to 1 yr. they will stay up longer and only take 1 -2 naps a day.
