Brief Answer:
Newborns sleep 18 hours and your 3month old baby 13-14 hours
Detailed Answer:
Hi.... usually newborn babies sleep almost 18 hours perday and as the age progresses the duration of sleep decreases. Your baby is 3 and half months old, she should be sleeping around 13 to 14 hours per day. This is normal, nothing to worry about it.
Duration of sleep gradually decreases as the baby grows older and the main reason for this will be the baby's interest in the surroundings and ever learning nature of the human brain.
I wish your baby a bright future. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link.
