Thanks for the query. First of all let me tell you don't stop mother's milk unless there is some real problem because it is considerd as Gold standerd for baby. Baby used to sleep for about 18 hrs a day so don't worry about that , while feeding cudling the baby, touching her ears may keep the baby awake. Keep baby warm (WELL CLOTHED) TO AVOID LOSS OF HEAT. If suck is poor you can give mother's expressed milk by wati spoon. Try simyl mct oil drops for massage and for adding to milk which can promote weight gain. Also give the baby calcium and multivitamin drops after consulting with the doctor. Hope i helped you.
