👶 Your 3-Month-Old Baby

🌱 Development at 3 months

• Coos and makes gurgling sounds
• Brings hands to the mouth
• Pushes up on the arms during tummy time
• Follows moving objects with the eyes

These are things most children (about 3 in 4) can do by this age. Babies born early may reach them later — use their corrected age.

📏 Growth: WHO weight, length and head size

Any steady curve within this range is normal; what matters is that your baby follows their own curve over time.

🍼 Feeding

• Breast milk or formula on demand; feeds may get quicker and further apart

😴 Sleep and teeth

• Total sleep: 12–16 h in 24 hours, usually 3–4 naps (National Sleep Foundation and American Academy of Sleep Medicine ranges).
• Most babies get their first tooth between 6 and 10 months, though some start at 4 months and some after 12.

💉 Vaccines due at 3 months

Your paediatrician may group doses differently. Keep the vaccination card safe.

💡 Tips for this month

• Many babies start to have a longer stretch of sleep at night
• Offer safe toys to grasp and look at
