A. Your daughter's sleep pattern of 9 hours at night and 2 hours in the afternoon, totaling around 11 hours of sleep per day, falls within the general range for her age. At around 3 months old, babies typically need 12–16 hours of sleep per day, including naps, though every baby has unique sleep needs. While she is getting slightly less than the average, her growth and development can still be normal as long as she is: Gaining weight and growing steadily. Reaching developmental milestones (like good neck control, as you mentioned). Eating well and active when awake. Tips for Ensuring Proper Growth and Sleep: 1. Ensure Proper Nutrition: Proper feeding (breastfeeding or formula) plays a crucial role in growth. If she's feeding well and seems content, it suggests her nutritional needs are being met. 2. Good Sleep Hygiene: Ensure she is sleeping in a quiet, comfortable environment. If possible, try to encourage longer sleep at night by establishing a calming bedtime routine. 3. Growth Monitoring: Regularly track her weight, height, and developmental milestones. These are more direct indicators of healthy growth. If you are concerned about her sleep or growth, it’s always good to check in with your pediatrician during regular visits to confirm that she is progressing well.
