Baby Drinking Fm Every 2hrs

My baby is only 1 wk old and she has been drinking 80ml to 90ml of fm. Is it too much or normal?

You can use this formula. (Baby's weight in kg × 150) / number of feedings. For example, my 6-week-old baby is 5kg now, so her daily total intake should be around 750ml. If she's feeding around 8 times a day, then each feed should be approximately 85-90ml. But yes, for a week old baby, 80-90ml is a bit much, it's not good for their still developing digestive system. Mine drank around 40ml the first week.
