HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
In the first few days after delivery, there may be weight loss, this is not unusual.
A baby should normally feed for approximately 30 minutes each feed. If you find she is falling asleep during a feed, gently stimulate her feet to wake her up.
You can also consider feeding her every 4 hours as well.
I hope this helps
