It husky lengthens around 6 months. If she sleeps at night and getting enough sleep overall in 24 hours I wouldn’t worry. Not sure there is much to do to lengthen. Maybe lengthen the wake windows?

Some babies are like that, it's very annoying but I don't think there's anything to do about it. My babies started taking longer naps at around 6 months.

Infants have short sleep cycles- around 40-50 mins. Some babies will easily transition from one cycle to the next, whereas some babies will wake up between cycles.
It mostly depends on the baby’s sleep habits. I.e. a baby who falls asleep independently will have an easier time falling back asleep between cycles. If your baby is dependent on nursing to sleeping/ pacifier/ rocking etc she will likely wake up after 40 mins. You might want to start implementing independent sleep, or maybe just stick in her paci and encourage her to go back to sleep

This is normal for babies under 6 months. Sometimes they will take longer naps, but most will be in the 40 minute range on average. If you mean 5-10 minutes then I would answer differently.
