How long does your 6-month-old stay awake during the day?

My DD still only stays up for 1.5-2.5 hours before needing a nap. Some naps are 2+ hours, some are 30-45 min cat naps. She usually naps 3-4 times per day. When she is awake, she is alert and active, so I'm not worried, just curious. She is not a big eater at all, so I wonder if it's her way of conserving energy, or if she does not have enough energy because she doesn't consume enough calories. At night, she sleeps from 7:30 - 8:30 until 6:15-7:00, with a dreamfeed in the middle, and maybe 1 or two brief awakenings where she just needs her pacifier and the white noise turned back on. I know all babies are different, but I wonder how often other babies her age stay awake for in one stretch.

When DS was 6mths old he was only awake for maybe 3hrs max. Now at 8mths he still sometimes only stays up for 3hrs. I think its normal.

She sounds a lot like DD at that age (except for the not eating part). DD did 3-4 naps until 6 months and was usually awake for two hours at a time except for a longer stretch before bed. She dropped to 3 for a little while and then quickly adjusted to two. She's 8 months now and stays up for 3 hours (sometimes less and only more if we're out and busy) and she does 2 naps a day.

It is totally typical for a 6 month old to only stay awake for about 2 hours at a time. That's what they are supposed to do! Once they drop down to 2 naps you start notifying they can stay awake for longer stretches.

My dd is the same exact way and is 6 months old. She does 1big nap about 2 hours long Nd then just 30-45 min cat naps through day/night. Shes awake for 2 hours then naps. She also isnt a big eater quantity wise per bottle but drinks often and now she eats solids as well. Her bottle before bed is a bigger bottle. She goes down around 10 snd sleeps until 6-7 am. Sometimes she takes a bottle and goes right back to sleep for an hour othertimes shes up and then goes for a nap.

At 6 mons my DS was taking 2 naps. One mid morning for 30 mins or so and then an afternoon one for 1-2 hrs.

DS didn't nap much and he is always on the go.
