Newborn baby not gaining weight

Question

Asked for Female, 1 Years

Hi , My baby's birth weight was 3.34kgs. She is at 3.9kg now in her 6th week. She loooks tiny, dont know if bm is not sufficient. Am feeding her lactogen twice daily, about 90ml and breast feeding her. Unable to feed her once in every 2/3 hrs when she is sleeping. She sleeps straight for 3 or 4 hrs in the morning after bath. Also at night at time she sleeps gor 4 or 5 hrs, during that time she doesnt take any feed. Regarding urine, i see her passing urine atleast more than 5 times in a day. Am worried about why she looks tiny and there's no proper weight gain.
