My baby was born at 36 weeks, her birth weight was 2. 5 kg, Nw she has completed 3. 5 months her weight is 6 kg. My problem is that she drinks milk only for 5 mins. Is her weight gain proper.

Babies double their birth weight when they are 3 or 4 months old. So your baby is on track. Some babies have strong suckle and get satisfied with a five minute feed. Count yourself lucky. Imagine having to feed for one hour each feed :) As the milk requirement increases, baby will start feeding longer or more often. So don't worry.
