Hi don’t worry, if baby is gaining weight adequately, and passing 6 to 8 times urine, there is not much problem See to that the baby is feeding for atleast 10 to 15 minutes from one breast and then give the feeds from the second one So that the baby gets fat content to satisfy the hunger Then burping is necessary after each feed
