Feeding related

My newborn feeds at an average of every 4 hours but the duration varies a lot from 10mins to even up to 1 hour. Is this a cause for concern? How do I know if my milk supply is not sufficient for her?

If she falls asleep at the boob, that is comfort latching and she is not taking in any milk (basically a human pacifier). Anything above 15~20 mins would probably be comfort latching already. You cannot tell the amount via latching, the only way you can tell is bottle feeding.
