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 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 hourly feeding pattern.
also there is no need to wake up the child from sleep if the weight of the child is within normal limits

Hello dear parent! Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Do not lay down your baby immediately after feeding. Hold your baby in upright position for sometime and gently rub on the back till the baby burps. Use Babyhug tummy roll on. Good luck and take care.
