Adequate wt gain atleast 30gms per day,active child,passing urine atleast 6times a day all indicate that ur milk is enough.i think ur child has reflux.so do burping adequately after every feed. Sometimes it may take months to subside.but if weight gain is good dont worry.

Hi
U have to see weather the baby is properly breast feeding or not
The signs or proper breast feeding are
That baby chin should touch the breast
Upper areola of the nipple should be exposed out
Baby’s mouth and cheeks should be wide open and full
And U DONT HAVE TO FEED EVERY HOURLY
U SHOULD FEED EVERY 2 HOURLY FOLLOWED BY BURPING
Don’t feed every hourly
Just make sure baby’s hydration is proper
That baby passes adequate urine
And having sleep after every feed
Next Steps
Once u feed every 2 hourly then the feed time will increase
