Waking for feeds

LO was 6lb 14oz born she wasn't taking much milk so midwife recommends waking her every 3-4 hours for milk so that's what we been doing her milk intake has already increased in couple days wondering whether to still do every 3 hours or leave it 4 hours?

When you stop waking for feeds depends more on weight gain than how much they are taking per feed/day. I know with us because my daughter had a lot of weight issues, the midwife was here to weigh her every couple days. So I would stop when they advise weight gain is good but otherwise keep it up til then.
