Should my baby be sleeping more?

Question

Baby is 16 weeks old, has only had breast milk (mix of bottles and breast). She goes to bed at around 8:30pm, wakes up between 1-3am to feed, and then up again between 5-6am. She naps great during the day, but should she be sleeping more at night at this age? I don’t know how to get her on a schedule...

Answer

I put mine to bed at 7:30 after I nurse her. I dream feed her at 10ish. She usually sleeps until 7:30ish. 
I’ve used the book On Becoming Babywise with all 3 of my kids to get them on schedules. It’s worked really well. They’ve each slept through the night beginning by 6-7 weeks

Answer

I have the exact same schedule. He sometimes goes back to sleep after waking up at 530 for a bottle. He usually naps about 3 times a day

Answer

Sounds pretty identical to mine. He’s 17 weeks and has a good 2-3 hour nap during the day and maybe 1-2 short 30 minute naps.
At night (for the most part), up around 1-3am for a bottle and again between 4-6am. Up for good around 7/7:30

Answer

Mine is the same at 15 weeks. Long stretch is in beginning. You could try a dream feed
