If baby sleeps after breastfeed then it indicates that baby's tummy is full. If daily urine output is 6-7 times a day then it is another indicator that baby is taking adequate milk. If baby cries after feed it means baby is taking more air than milk so burp the baby after each feed.

What you can do is express your milk and see. Other way to find out is just count the number of diapers you change per day. Check weight daily record for 1 week your baby should gain atleast 270 gram if not then baby isn't receiving enough milk. If all is well you can give protectis drops 5 drops daily for 21 days.
