Should i be worried that my baby nurses loudly?

No: Many babies gulp and suck quite noisily. This is not a problem at all. Only worry if you baby is coughing, gagging or having difficulty breathing during feedings.

No: It is quite common for babies to ignore the expectations of "civil society" and make noises that may be embarresing. I enjoy the idea that "barracuda" baby is so robust in his/her efforts. Aside from extra air swallowing & need for more burping or gas, i don't see a downside. Perhaps you could record this symphony of joy and keep it for later.
