POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. 1. Continuous Sleep at Night Without Feeding
A 3-month-old baby can typically sleep for 4–6 hours continuously at night without feeding. However, this varies based on:
Baby's weight gain and overall health.
Whether the baby is breastfed or formula-fed (formula-fed babies may sleep slightly longer due to slower digestion).
If your baby is gaining weight well and has no health issues, longer stretches of sleep are normal. Always consult your pediatrician if you’re unsure.

2. Sucking Fingers at Mouth
Yes, sucking fingers is completely normal for a 3-month-old baby. It is a self-soothing behavior and part of their developmental milestones. Babies discover their hands and mouths around this age, and finger-sucking helps them:
Self-soothe and calm themselves.
Explore the world using their mouth (a normal part of sensory development).
If the habit persists after 12–18 months, you might need to discourage it to prevent dental issues.
