How many hours do you breastfeed in total per day?

Question

My little one used to be 2-3 hours per day but nowadays it’s up to 2.5 hours on a cluster feed day but most days 1-1.5 hour region. She feeds 5-10 minutes per breast and usually full on just the one. I also pump two sessions worth and feed that if I’m out etc.
