How sleep usually goes at 3 months old
Longer single stretches at night can mean fewer night feeds. Variation is wide, though — even after settling, babies may go through phases of waking more. Follow your own baby's rhythm rather than comparing.
What to keep an eye on
Sleep patterns can shift over a few days. Don't ride the daily ups and downs; look at the bigger trend.

My 3 months baby is different from these guidelines — is that okay?
