Feeding time - is all of this normal?

I have a 2 week old who's FF. She sometimes goes over 4 hours without wanting a feed (I end up waking her) and then only has 1-2oz and then sometimes she's hungry after an hour and a half after she's had 4oz. She also falls asleep mid feed sometimes, again only drinking about 1oz, sometimes less. I'm getting lots of wet nappies but have only had 1 dirty nappy in 2 days. I'm not sure if all of this is normal. Our final midwife appointment was Wednesday and she was over her birth weight.

Yep all normal but if she goes over 48 hours without a dirty nappy contact HV again.

The midwife on Wednesday said no dirty nappies for up to 5-7 days was fine.

That’s normal for breastfed babies but not sure about formula fed - I thought they should be pooing every day.

Random feeding on demand is totally normal though.

Not having a dirty nappy on a day is always a concern under 6 weeks regardless of feeding method

Yeh I think she’s wrong. One of my friends babies was FF at was admitted to hospital after 4 days with no dirty nappies. My health visitor always said phone her if gone a full 48 hours.
