Hello doctors,
My baby is 3 months old now. Before this he was sleeping 12-15 hrs a day but since 2 weeks he is sleeping almost 18-20 hrs. He is taking proper breast milk. But m worrying is it normal that baby sleeps for this much time?

It’s perfectly normal. Normally babies till 2-3 months sleep for 18-20 hours. If his growth and development is normal then nothing to worry about.

Better talk to your pediatrician about this in detail at the time of vaccination
