baby milk intake

Hi! Would like to ask. My infant right now is 8 days old, his milk consumption is 80ml but to consume that 80ml took him a long time as he just drink it very slowly. Is this an issue? Should I do anything to make him drink faster?

It’s normal for newborns to take a longer time to drink milk. They are after all new to suckling and need more time. You can try to burp before and after feeding. Babies will get more efficient in drinking milk as they get older.
