6 day old baby only drinking 30ml

Hi all my lil boy is 6 days old he is still only taking around 30ml then falls asleep. I wouldn't be worried but at his last weighing he had lost another ounce (he is being weighed again tomorrow) during the day he will sleep 5 hours at a time if we didn't wake him. Is this normal?

I would try waking every 2-3 hours during the day. Has he put on weight at all?

He lost 6oz at day 3, 1oz on day 5 but the midwife weighed him again today and he has gained 4oz so all seems good 😁
