For the first 1 month he needs two hourly feeds post one month you can start demand feeds.Secondly if he sleeps while feeding hell take longer time..so try to wake him up by tickling or rubbing his back and soles ,he will eventually to able to fill his tummy in 20-25 minutes.He is also learning you will have to be patient
