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.
