My baby will be turning 3 months in a week, all her activities are normal playing , pooping but her sleep is very less, around 11 hrs in the whole day. She sleeps through whole night but in day it's just few naps from 10-15 mins. Is it normal ?

12-16 hrs of sleep is healthy for a baby. Few things to consider : Avoid loud noise / bright light in the room Proper breast feeding and burping Comfortable clothes Change diper regularly,make sure it’s not kept for too long

Yes, it's fine if sleeping is less in day, as she is sleeping well in night. As feeding and activities are normal, there is nothing to worry.
