Drinking bottle too fast?

I just gave my baby a bottle of expressed milk for the first time and he took down 2.5oz in about 57min. Is this a little fast? I'm just asking because when he feeds at the breast it takes him about 1520 min. I'm using the tommy tippee closer to nature bottles. Also how many ounces does a 34 week old usually drink from a bottle at a time?

    Should be 5 to 7 minutes and 15 to 20 minutes FYI. Not 57 and 1520.

    Is that w a burp break? If so, maybe try a preemie nipple. You want to make them work for it lol. You don't want LO to get used to that fast flow and get lazy and prefer the bottle. Aka nipple confusion
