Hi.
Feed the baby on demand and do not force the baby.
What is his birth weight?
Next Steps
If baby is active and gaining weight adequately, nothing to worry

You should feed on demand and don't measure each feed. Overall 550ml a day seems good amount for the age. The babies may not take each feed with same quantity or at exact time interval every time.
