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?

At one week of age, his stomach volume is probably 45-60ml, so he can’t handle 80ml quickly at one shot. Some milk needs to go down first before he can take in more. I wouldn’t rush him, and would probably actually cut down the volume of feeding
