Worried that DD isn't getting enough sleep :(

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

I have read that babies need 15 hours of sleep and DD is getting about 11-12.  Given our schedule during the week, she doesn't get to bed until 8:30 and is up by 6:30. But some nights she sleeps significantly less, like last night she didn't actually fall asleep until 9:30 and was up today at 5:00. Her naps have also gone down the crapper.

I'm just frustrated by my own lack of sleep, but more importantly I am worried how this lack of sleep is affecting DD's growth and development.

    Does she seem to be tired or cranky? Is she meeting her milestones? I would discuss with pedi, but I would think there would be signs she is sleep deprived, and I would think nothing short of sleep deprivation would affect her growth and development.

    And as they say for everything, all babies are different. My kid generally sleeps 11-12 hours at night but all day resists naps, and maybe gets a total of 1-2 hours a day in naps... and he is fine!
