Question

Does your baby eat off one boob or both? How old are they? How long do they eat off each one? How often?

Answer

My baby is 1 month + 6 days. She feeds from both breast anywhere between 10 minutes to 30 minutes. Just depends. Sometimes she goes back & forth between both breast

Answer

One at a time. She nurses for about 28-40 minutes at a time. I let her go until she falls asleep or unlatchs herself.

Answer

Usually one side at a time. Once in awhile both sides in one sitting. He is just about to be 7 months.

Answer

Usually I go back and forth between breast. The first one he feeds for 10-20 minutes. If he is still hungry I feed him the other breast 7-11 minutes. Depending on how hungry he is he feeds every 2-4 hours.

Answer

Mine is 6 months old. She feeds off one breast per feed every 3 hours, sometimes every 2 at night. She usually feeds for 10-20 mins but I don't really keep track anymore and she still comfort feeds a lot for naps and at night.

Answer

My baby eats from both sides during a feeding. For example, he'll eat from the left one for about 9-12 minutes. I'll burp him and then he'll eat from the right one for 6-9 minutes. Then he's done. He usually eats every 2-3 hours still so at the next feeding, I offer my right one first and he'll eat from that one longer and then he'll eat from the left one shorter. He is ten weeks old now.

Answer

Numbers you should know are wet diapers. If they are fine, just relax. Adults don't eat even meals or same every day. All combinations are fine as long as your baby have enough wet diapers and is growing and developing. 
My two kids had completely different nursing style (numbers, duration and everything else).

Answer

3 weeks old, 15-18 minutes on each side.  I change him and burp after he unlatches and then offer the second. He also is super sleepy and usually needs to be woken up every 2.5-3 hours.
