I hate not knowing how much my baby drinks while I'm breast feeding she only stays on the boob for like 15 to 20 min that's it and she will be two months is that ok???

Definitely okay. As long as she's gaining weight and having plenty of wet/dirty diapers you know she's getting enough <3

Yes, you are doing great! Keep track of diapers and weight like above poster mentioned, but other than that, you have nothing to worry about. They really become very efficient with feeds the bigger they get, they can get all they need out of a 10 min feed if they want to! Feeding for long periods is more of a comfort thing or trying to increase supply in preparation for a growth spurt :P
