Dear User,
There are no absolute normal volumes of drinking of milk at specific ages, as the intake depends upon many other factors like the weight of the baby at birth, her weight today, what type of liquids are being given, and so on. It might be a good idea to re-post another question with the added details from which I can get a better understanding of the problem.
At present, please continue with the existing feeding schedule.
