Brief Answer:
Her weight is normal for her age.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Slight weight loss is quite common immediately after birth and baby will gain gradually after that.
The present weight is appropriate for her age.
No need to express and you must feed the baby whole breast.
If her sleep is disturbed continuously possible causes like nasal congestion must be ruled out.
Thanks

Hi,
Nasal congestion diagnosed by difficulty in breathing especially during feeding and sleep. You can try saline nasal drops empirically as it a safe drug and does not harm even if the nostrils are fine.
