It is not the sucking rate that is assessed, but the condition of the baby as a whole: weight gain, thermoregulation, lack of respiratory distress, etc. Therefore, the period of hospitalization of a premature baby also depends on the gestational age, i.e., the period at which the birth took place. And premature babies often eat slowly, do not wake up for feeding like full-term babies, they need to be woken up and fed more often than mature babies. Discuss these points with your doctor - that's why the baby is in hospital, so that by the time you are discharged you know how to treat him, because his future well-being depends largely on this skill of yours.
