10 mins sounds good for that age. Is he sucking and swallowing continuously throughout that time?
An LC told me a baby can empty a breast in 10-12 mins so they can get enough hindmilk in that time.
He's putting on weight so you don't have any worries. My 2w old is taking 30-45mins on and off to nurse. Not fun at 3am. I'd much rather a 10minute eater
