hi, welcome to Healthcremagic.com
Dont worry about the babys wt untill she is healthy and active, If lactaction is insufficient then you should try to increase it by taking plenty of milk, fruits, water and protein rich diet also if these dont help much ,your gyanic can prescribe some medicine to increase lactation.
As such a small baby is totally dependent on breast feeding. if u give her topfeed it can cause many complaints, so mothers milk is the best.
