Hello dear, if your baby is passing urine atleast 8-10 times a day, sleeping well after feeds, gaining weight and is active, it means your breast milk is sufficient for the baby.
If you feel that the baby is cranky and demands feeding frequently these days then you can do one thing. Express your milk once completely to empty your breast and measure the quantity, you will get to know the rough estimate. Now depending on your baby's age and weight, I can suggest you the amount she needs.
Look for other factors as well for baby's discomfort like wet diaper, is she feeling too hot or too cold etc
Take care

Child could be cranky for several reasons
