Accepted Answer

you have to give only demand feeding to the child that is whenever the child feels hungry you can give milk to the child 
and the child will take the milk according to the need and then will leave the milk. 
if the child is taking more milk you can offer milk in more quantity with intermittent burping . 
there is no need to to go for fixed feeding pattern.
also there is no need to wake up the child from sleep if the weight of the child is within normal limits .
also if the weight gain of the child every month is normal then no need to worry regarding the pattern of breastfeeding 
in first six months the minimum weight gain should be 500 mg per month and it can go up to 1 kg per month also.
the urine output should be more than 6 to 7 times per day. the child should sleep after taking feeding.
meet the doctor for weight assessment.z
if the above criteria is achieved then the child is having adequate milk intake.
if the growth of the child is proper there is no need to worry about tzhe sleeping pattern/ feeding as well as the stool frequency of the child
