hi it's looking like your milk is insufficient in nights at present. as your child has not gained weight I suggest you to give some top feed after every feed if your baby is not satisfied and is not having at least 4hrs of continuous sleep. you can increase your milk production by taking plenty of fluids in the night also.hope this is helpful to you, rate it if you like it. take care
