Asked for Male, 27 Years

My daughter is nearly 1.5 months old and weighs around 3.5 kg, at birth weight 2.8. her hand and leg is active, may be hyper active...but it looks like muscles are not there. One more thing, during breastfeeding she sleeps after 10 to 15 mins of latching and restart latching after we wake up her...it goes for a hour like this...while sleeping she moves her head here and there but the neck does not feel strong...is there anything like hypotonia like low muscle tone? And which doctor should i consult for it. ? First please tell me is this normal ?

That pattern of feeding is acceptable, keep waking her up and keep her active. Neck holding is achieved at 3-4 months. For tone assessment please visit Physically.
