Just wanna say… my baby was also able to go to sleep at 11. I started napping her MORE, and would soothe her back to sleep if she woke up. I also started consciously trying to tire her out, like putting her into the jolly jumper. She now sleeps from about 9-8 and is up in middle of the night but I suspect that’s due to her eczema.

My baby two months ago had maybe one nap during the day and went to sleep 11. I really turned her schedule around.

At 11 months you should be able to shift calories to the day. Try shortening night feeds and see if it helps

he went to sleep at 9ish and was up at 6ish for the day. is that normal?

That’s definitely a start! I would try to do bedtime even earlier. The sweet spot is supposed to be between 7 and 8. I think that once you get him consistently sleeping during the night hours (for example 7 to 6) then you can work on cutting out the night nursing sessions. Does he take a Paci?
