Do you ladies think 5mins to cry for a baby before going in and consoling your LO for a nap is too long?

I am trying to help my LO sleep longer without me holding her throughout her naps all day....since I will probably end up with a UTI soon, but 5mins-30mins she will wake up from her nap and see that Im not holding her and cry. I have waited 2-5mins before going in and shushing and patting her back to sleep. Is 5mins too long in your opinion? 

BTW... I never let her "cry it out"...in not a fan of that, but I do wait to console her anywhere from 2-5 mins and sometimes she just falls back asleep before I go in. In your opinion is 5mins too long?
