A visit to the pediatrician may help you,as it's necessary to look for the causes of  taking less feeds.Though her weight is alright for her age ,a proper guidance on choosing the right formula is essential.

Hello,if baby is gaining weight,then no need to worry .gradually the duration of breastfeeding decreases and frequency also.But of baby is not gaining weight then it might be that mother milk is insufficient so you can start complementary feeding.kindly consult in detail for further opinion.
