Third Month of Your Baby

Feeding
Feeds every 2-3 hours and may sleep 3-4 hours between nighttime feedings. May spit up after feedings as cardiac sphincter valve at top of stomach does not close tightly until baby is walking.

Sleeping
Begins to sleep for longer periods at night. Still sleeps most of the day, about 15 hours (10 hours at night and about 3 naps during the day) 

Physical Changes of your Baby

Hearing
Turns head towards sounds. Knows difference between male and female voices as well as between angry and friendly voices. 

Focusing
Focuses better, looking  more than 12 inches from her face. Follows objects by moving head from side to side. Prefers brightly colored objects.

Smiles
Smiles, gurgles and coos, particularly when talked to.  

Movement
They can lift their chin off mattress when lying on their stomach. Holds head steady when held upright. Some kids turn over by the end of the third month.

Height and Weight
At 3 months, the typical baby weighs 13 pounds(5.5-6kg) and measures 24 inches. But don't worry if your baby is smaller or larger. Babies, like adults, vary in size and shape. In fact, the average weight for a 3-month-old can range from 9 to 16 pounds and the average length from 22 to 25 inches.
