hello,feed the child every 2-3 hours. Do not keep gap of 5-6 hours. She Should feed for 10 min each time. In last month she has gained adequate weight. means feeding was adequate. After any illness feeding decrease gradually she will take more feeds. No need o worry .Continue exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months of age ,monitor her weight monthly
