NewBorn not crying for Milk

Question

Asked for Male, 28 Years

Hi, My 5 day old baby is having continuos sleep and every two hours we have to wake her up and then she is having breast feed for half an hour and so. Motion is going 4 to 5 times a day and urine output though the same is absorbed in the Diapers we couldnt find the exact number of times of urine. She is surely passing urine atleast 3 times. Why my baby is not crying for feeds whole day and we have to get her up everytime for feed. Is it normal. In the initial two days of birth she was crying a lot as mom didnt get much milk production and now milk production was fine but she is not crying and always sleeping.
