Late preterm baby feeding adequacy

Hello Doctor, My baby was born at 34 weeks 3 days (late preterm) via normal delivery, birth weight 2.2 kg. Delivery was early due to maternal ICP with itching. In the first few days after birth, my baby had two episodes of low blood sugar (46–47 mg/dL), which stabilized with feeding. Since discharge, we are not checking sugar at home as advised, but we remain anxious due to the past history. The baby is on exclusive breastfeeding, but he often falls asleep while feeding, feeds for short durations, and needs frequent stimulation. He does not cry strongly for feeds, so we are unsure if he is taking adequate milk. Please guide on: How to know if a breastfed baby is getting enough milk at home Normal signs (urine, stools, weight gain, behavior) that indicate good feeding Is sleepiness during feeds normal in late-preterm babies, and how long does it last? Warning signs to watch for, considering past low sugar episodes Whether home sugar monitoring is needed or not Thank you.

My newborn grunts every nigt

My newborn who is 1.5 months old keeps grunting and whining every night at around the same time with his eyes closed. I am unable to understand why this is happening.

Dry cough only when sleeps(noon/night)

My son recovered from a long cough for almost 1.5 months which used to come when he sleeps(noon/night). 2 week after that he got fever and we have paracetamol(3.5ml twice 6 hrs gap) and next day he recovered. After that he got dry cough and runny nose. Now he is coughing during the day and also when goes for sleep(noon/night) it gets worse. During the day he eats, plays well also once the cough stops he sleeps well. I could also observe little bit snoring during sleep and whenever he changes the position it stops and after a minute it resumes again. His saturation level is 96, pulse is normal. Breathing is normal during the day and when sleeps sometimes it's little louder. Doctor says it's viral due to drastic change in weather and due to change in location(travel hometown)he repeatedly got infected but I am worried because of the long running cough if it turns to any other permanent issues. Based on the above information can anyone tell me what could be the issue and any suggestions?
