It sounds like she's getting adequate sleep. I know a lot of "experts" say 12 hours at night, but I think that puts undue pressure on the parents and child. After polling a lot of my mommy friends (and I have a lot of them) very few of their kids under 1.5-2 sleep 12 hours straight. The ones that do have always been extra sleepy babies.

LO is 4 months and gets 11-12 hours at night. naps are a crapshoot--at daycare he gets only about 1, maybe 2 hours total (which leads me to practically throw him into the crib as soon as i bring him home because he's so tired). on weekends he has about 4 hours of naps.

i was really stressed about his sleep, particularly after daycare, but i had seen somewhere that he should be getting 15-16 hours of sleep. but my pediatrician said 14 hours total. so now i just think there's no definitive answer, and as long as LO is healthy and growing, i should try not to worry about it too much (although i really, really, desperately wish that he slept better at daycare).

DD is 4 months old, sleeps 11 hours at night, with 5 hours of naps during the day, so 16 total hours (give or take an hour depending on her moods... haha)

DS is 8 months old, and usually sleeps anywhere between 9-10 hours at night and has about two 1-2 hour naps during the day. So around 11-14 hours in a 24 hour period.

Charlie slept 10 at night for a very long time until we reduced his naps and he started sleeping more at night. Olive can sleep over 14 hours at night even now. Sleep needs are different for every child, but 14-15 hours is a good place for your lo's age!

I found this chart to be helpful:
