Thanks for asking I have gone through your question.  Your daughter given birth 6 days back and baby having difficulty in breastfeeding. He has been started about 320 ml of lactose 1 daily. I want to advise you that there is no substitute for mothers milk. Every mother can breastfeed her baby. Because there are so many advantage of mothers milk1. Those infant take exclusive breast milk are get less frequent illness like loose motions, asthma .2. Exclusive breastfeed baby have better IQ then milk powder feed baby, and in one study they earn more than milk powder feed when they become adult. So try, try and try till baby start take breastfeeding. There may be some reason that interfere breastfeeding, like inverted nipples, tight breasts, improper technique for feeding, so you can rectify these problems or can consult lactation constant or your gynecologist or pediatrician.  You expressed breast and the milk that expressed should be given by spoon. Regarding your query for volume of milk we recommend about 120mL to 150mL per kg per day. So if weight is about 3 kg, we recommend about 360mL per day. These volume is just rough estimate, make the feed some extra what baby take last time. It baby finish 50 ml then next time your prepare 60 ml of feed, and so on.  Baby should pass 6-8 time urine in 24 hours indicate sufficient intake hope i able to answer your query and I will be very happy baby start taking breastfeed, thanks
