What's the weight now??Weight gain for first three months in your case should be 36 grams per day,and this depends TOTALLY on feeding pattern.
Give breastfeeds at a gap of atleast 2-1/3 to 3 hours,NOT before that,don't wake her up for a feed.
Ideally breastmilk exclusively should be given for 6 months,but if forced to give top milk feeds,use ONLY formula.
Neck or more precisely,head holding should be attained by 3-4 months.
