Dear Patient,

Yes, this is normal. Some kids sleep more at night and others sleep more in the day. We recommend that you should wake such small babies up after every 2 or 3 hrs max and feed them, however, if she's not waking up and is taking a sound sleep, then you can just try a few times without stressing and relax about it. She will wake up if she's too hungry. make sure during the day her feed is at the fixed time and you feed her well.
Kids sleep a lot initially, things get better over time. So there's no reason to stress out.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/child-specialist
