Weird sleep changes

[Tattooed Hand]

My DD is 10 months old and in the last 2 months her sleep patterns have really changed. She used to go to bed around 9 and wake at 6, and take 2 2-hour naps, so sleeping 13 hours total. She is still sleeping that much (give or take a bit) but began sleeping more like 11 hours a night and less during the day. Her bedtime seems to be getting more and more early though and it takes forever to get her to bed on the days we miss it. Yesterday she was out by 6:25 and today by 5:35... She usually wakes up around 6am.

Is it normal for her to go to bed so early and to sleep so little during the day - sometimes as little as 1 hour?

Yup, sure is. My 10 month old is doing the same thing and I remember my DD doing the same thing around this age as well. My 10 month old was going to bed around 930, but lately he's ready for bed by 8. His naps are all over the place. Somedays its two naps that are two hours or more, some days its one nap that's only an hour and a lot of combinations inbetween. I have heard of babies heading for bed by 6:30 before, so I don't think she's abnormal at all.

My 10.5 mo old is doing almost the same thing too

Bedtime was 9pm, now is 7:30ish, wake up at around 7am.

Was taking two naps, now he is usually only doing one nap a day.

Edit to add, he is a BEAR when we miss the 7:30ish time for getting him down for the night, and then its a battle to go to sleep too!!!
