Please share weight of child so I can calculate the precise feeds required for your child. Why isn't the child exclusively breast fed?

Please mention weight of child. Baby weight between 3.5 to 10 kg should take 100ml/kg - 120ml/kg feeds. Also feeding while baby is sleeping you should take care of position, baby should kept propped up not lying down.
