I have a baby girl two months young and she seems to be awake from 5 PM to 10PM, and again wakes up at 5 AM. Is this normal in the child developemment? And how do i change her waking schedules?

Very normal, from what I've read and experienced. My son did the same, but not for much longer than 2 months. Maybe a couple of weeks to a month from now it will begin to improve. If you start a routine of some kind (maybe a bath every night), when things are more predictable, then she'll go to sleep quicker and stay asleep longer.

Glad to see a dad asking questions. This behaviour is very normal. All babies do different things, there is really no comparison. As time goes on, your baby girl will start to sleep longer hours. Trust me when this happens you will be over the moon because you will catch up on more sleep.

That is normal...my 2month young son eats at midnite, sleeps till 5am , eats, goes back to sleep, wakes up at 7am , then wakes again till 9am , not going back to sleep untill 1pm or 2pm, eating 2-3 times .
So you see your little girl is normal, but more of a night owl.
To change her schedule, feed her last at midnite, and swaddle her tight. Babies feel that womb-like comfort and can sleep up to even 7 hours!
And remember to put her on her back to prevent SIDS.

it is absolutely normal. babies do not know yet about when fathers are please to feed them or so. there is no reason trying to change her schedule. it will go on the right track once she gets older.
