My two month old is attached to my breast!!Out of nowhere she's been doing 40 minute to 1 hour feedings. She's just suckling for such a long time?! What's going on?

Question

I need help!

Answer

I most definitely do have an oversupply, she must have learned to be lazy due to my letdown. Her latch is still good though so I don't think it is that.

Answer

Do you think she's getting enough milk and then just sucking to soothe? Or do you think she's sucking instead of feeding and is hungry all the time? There's a chance her latch has changed and is no longer deep enough, so after the initial let down, she's not getting any milk. Or if your letdown is fast, she might just have become lazy and doesn't want to really work for the rest of her feed. I would consult a lactation consultant if you think it's becoming an issue.
