Help! Is It Normal For Newborn To Feed So Often!

My baby coming to one month old feeds more than 10x a day as she only drinks about 60ml each time. At certain times she can feed every hour and take in only 30-60ml each feed. She is bottle fed ebm and formula btw. We have tried to give her more milk per session but she just won't finish it as she usually falls asleep after about 60ml or so. Totally clueless how to make her drink more so can decrease the number of feeds. My confinement nanny is leaving tmr and I will be taking care of her on my own. Wondering how I can manage the feeds and still have the time to pump. Feeling so stressed out now. ?

Babies are smart. If they are full, they will not drink more than what is required. For the first 3 mths, usually their feeds are every 2-3 hours. Once they are older, can start to stretch :)
