Unsure

My 3 mnth old DD hasn't been feeding very well lately. During the day she hasn't been feeding very long or very often, & when I try to offer it to her when she doesn't want it, she gets upset with me.
At night however she will quite often stay on me for 1.5 - 2 hrs before going to bed. She may not be sucking well the whole time & sometimes looks like she is asleep, but if you try to take her off she wants back on again.
She also sleeps up to 6 hrs at night in one go, but then only for 1.5 - 2 hrs again.
I have been advised to start trying her on both breasts every feed, but was wondering if the above is normal & if I can get any advice on how to get her feeding properly.
