Your child's 3 hrly requirement is 55 ml. Try giving breast feeding from one side of the breast for 30 min followed by burping. Weight gain 30 gm per day is normal. Child will pass urine 8-10 times per day and stools 3-4 times a day and will sleep for 3 hours which is all suggestive of adequate breast feeding. Thank you

If baby is sleeping well after feeding, urine output is normal and she is gaining weight @ 20 to 30 grmas per day that indicates whatever being fed is enough. Its demand feeding. Feed them whenever they ask for it
