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
