Greetings This urination pattern resembles normal development for a 3.5-month-old. During deep overnight sleep, a baby's body naturally slows down urine production. It is very common for infants to hold urine for 5–6 hours at night.

Yes, this can be normal. At 3.5 months, some babies may pass urine less frequently during nighttime sleep compared to daytime. If your baby is feeding well, active, gaining weight appropriately and passing at least 6 wet diapers in 24 hours, there is usually no reason to worry. Passing urine only twice between 8 PM and 6 AM can be normal, provided the total urine output throughout the day is adequate. However, if there is no urine for 8 hours, especially with poor feeding, dry mouth, unusual sleepiness or fever, please get your baby examined promptly. Also, there is no need to give extra water at this age. Breast milk or formula is sufficient.

At 3.5 months, 5 to 6 hours without a wet diaper overnight is usually normal. She isn't feeding during that stretch, so her body simply makes less urine then. Her frequent daytime wet diapers are actually the better sign that she's getting enough fluids.
Next Steps
Keep an eye on her daytime wet diaper count, since that's the more reliable hydration check. If she has fewer than about 5 to 6 wet diapers in a full 24 hours, bring it up with her paediatrician. Dark or strong smelling urine is also worth mentioning at her next visit.
Health Tips
See her paediatrician the same day if she develops a fever, seems unusually drowsy or fussy, or goes more than 8 hours without any urine even while awake.
