Does this sound normal for a 7 week old? I have taken 24 hours as an example

10.15am - 25 minute feed
1.15pm - 80ml ebm
2.40pm - 18 minutes
3.20pm - 55 minutes
6.15pm - 25 minutes
7.30pm - 60 minutes
10.35pm - 25 minutes, 60ml formula
4.10am - 20 minutes, 15 ebm
7.50am - 30 minutes
10.00am - 47 minutes

I have also expressed 210ml in this 24hr period.

I'm worried that he's not getting enough milk!
 
As long as he poos, wees and puts on weight he's doing just fine!
 
Like babybee said really. Every baby is different in terms of how fast they feed. Also what your flow is like will affect the time/speed too.
 
I agree with what the other girls have said. My lo feeds approx every 2/3 hours during the day - but a feed rarely lasts longer than 15 minutes. And she sleeps around 7 hours straight at night. She is putting on weight and poos/wees fine. My first used to feed every half and hour to an hour and be on the breast for absolutley ages. She also put on weight/pooped just fine. So i guess every baby is different in their feeding habits. But as long as weight and nappies are fine, dont worry!! you're doing great xx
