Upto 6 mo, adequate wt gain is the best indicator for adequacy of feeding. For that u must get her weighed in a hospital every 15 days. Now ahe should gain about 350 -450 gm/ 15days. Then its fine, otherwise evaluation required

Dear parents,
According to hold the baby in one arm keeping his head at elbow joint and the buttocks in the palm of same arm and feed the baby for 15to20minutes.
Hold the baby outer palm in between the thumb and index finger and press the palm when ever baby sleep or stop feeding.
After feeding put the baby on left shoulder and pat just behind stomach level for 5mintues to burp
Baby burp 3to5times.
After burping lay down the baby on right side of baby with a small pillow under the head so that head is above level of stomach.
