3 month old feeding and urine output

I am concerned about my 3-month-old baby girl’s feeding and urine output. She generally latches well and stays on the breast for a long duration, but after a few minutes of active sucking, she mostly switches to comfort sucking. Earlier, her diapers used to be very heavy, but recently they have reduced to medium weight. I am worried this may indicate reduced intake. Additionally, due to warm weather, she sometimes sweats while sleeping if the AC is not on or the room becomes slightly warm. Please advise if this pattern is normal or if her feeding/hydration needs to be assessed. Also, she has started giving long stretch of sleep at night, sometimes waking up once for feed (4-5 hours) or sometimes she sleep through the night. Her birth weight was 3245 gms; discharge weight was 3004 gms and as of 23rd April, she weighs 5.2 kgs. She does have spit up issues; there are days when no spit up will happen and sometimes she will spit 3-4 times after a single feed.
