Actually is very wrong letting baby to cry only feed. If he/she cries every hour, that's means your milk are not that enough.
As general guide by experience confinement ladies, the milk fed to them are following their weight, like 2.8kg, it should be about 2-2.5oz.
Try pump your milk to a container and see how much it is.
Considering most doctors(especially from private), their mind only thinking of pushing formula milk. As my wife don't produce any breast milk, now I'm buying Snow(freaking expensive) which low in DHA and posting less problem.
Best is still measure milk produced then supplement with formula milk.
Formula milk are made from chemical, it can give health issues, cold and cough are normal due to sugar content and babies can't drink too much water(drink more water can really prevent getting cold and cough)
Drinking more formula milk do make baby gain weight fast, my son's weight from birth are only 2.8kg, after 12 days only weight 2.65kg(because of stupid mother in law only feed him once every 3 hours, 1 oz only).
After I send my wife and baby to confinement center, they took initial weight and started feeding my son with 3oz of formula milk. And they feed once every 3 hours. Now my son's wight already 3.6kg, that's after 2 weeks.
my mum was totally opposite of your mother-in-law. she keep worrying her grandchild starve. i expressed milk for my mum to feed while i was away. she feed up to 4oz every 3 hours when my baby is only 1 month.As general guide by experience confinement ladies, the milk fed to them are following their weight, like 2.8kg, it should be about 2-2.5oz.

birth weight - 3kg. 2 months later - 5.5kg. *sweat*
btw... why do u prefer low DHA milk? my hubby keep worrying that my breastmilk got not enough DHA, due to my reluctance to eat fish. so he keep trying to persuade me to give the baby some formula with rich DHA.
