Probably.: 2% of children will sleep less than 9-10 hours at 1-3 months of age. Best to ask the pediatrician to be sure there is no sleep disorder. http://www.plateaupediatrics.com/?tag=sleep

Possible: Sleep patterns vary but sometimes can be regulated by behavior therapy. Consider scheduled quiet "nap" times and keep room calm and lightly lit. Have calming background noise - music with no words - that only plays during these times to help her learn it's rest time. At night goal is 10 hours. Avoid responding to quickly to crying. Give her a few minutes to see if she will settle on her own.
