My friend asked me this question and I had a similar issue when my lo was at that age. So her 1month-old only feeds for 10-15 minutes & settles to sleep. When trying to wake her, she can't stay awake to continue suckling. She sleeps about 2hr till next feed and my friend is worried she won't get enough milk. Now, I told her that she shouldn't worry about that, but at the same time, do you have any tips to keep the baby awake?

If baby is gaining weight normally and produces enough wet and dirty nappies, the duration she nurses should not be a concern.

As long as baby is growing well, there is nothing to no to worry about. If a baby is hungry or baby needs something. Babies will definitely make it known to us. Also, you can try stroking babies cheeks and feet when baby falls asleep. It is very normal for baby to fall asleep.
