Hello..
Milk production increases according to the baby’s age .
Patiently allow the baby to re latch after she takes a pause if u find the baby if not able to take more milk u can express 10-15 ml and feed through a spoon or paladai
But try avoiding bottle .
Next Steps
Please continue giving breast feeding and adequately burping the baby for atleast 20 minutes

Sometimes excess or Sudden spurt of milk makes the baby choke a little so baby detaches and relatches after a few minutes .
You can try expressing out about 10 ml or so of milk then latch the baby .
Consider getting a lactation consultation.

Are u giving bottle feeding. If no, try putting the baby often for milk. Baby will surely feed. If the baby is passing urine more than 6 times then feed is adequate.
Next Steps
Monitor weight regularly .
