How much to feed newborn

My 9 day old baby drinks 90ml of breast milk per 2.5-3hrs and the doc said newborns that age usually drink 60ml. My MIL keeps secretly increasing to 100ml and idk if it’s ok. Anybody help!!

At 9 days the stomach isn’t so big. If we forcefeed so much, baby will likely regurgitate/vomit the milk out. If it comes out from the mouth, that’s not so bad, but there is still a chance then when the baby vomits, the milk will go into the lungs instead and cause pneumonia.

Hm, even so, really shouldn’t give so much.
