How long does your baby feed?

Question

My babe is 11 weeks old, EBF and right now he seems to be full after 8 mins of feeding. He’s gone through phases where that’s all he eats and then he will do longer. Is 8 min long enough? Sometimes it’s only 4 min a boob and he becomes super fussy and fights latching again and cries. Could he be full already?  It’s pretty much a min after my letdown. 
He’s a good weight and gaining and all that. Maybe slowed down a bit though. 9lbs1oz at birth. Now 13lbs13oz. Lots of wet and dirties. Just curious how long every other EBF nurses a session :)
Thankssss!

Answer

Normally its 5-10 minutes. The last one before bed shell go longer. But when she wakes up after sleeping for 6 or 7 hours I pump my left while she eats on my right and I get 6-7 ounces in about 15 minutes and my right always feels as or more empty than my left and shes always back asleep by the time I'm done pumping. So they can definitely get a lot quickly.

Answer

Same here. He’s usually good after 8 minutes. It kills me at night because he wakes after 4-5 hours and used to feed from both sides and now he’s good with one. I end up having to pump the other side so I’m not in pain.

Answer

As the babes get older, then become more efficient At feeding, so they could be totally done! Just as long as they have normal amount of wet and dirty, I wouldn’t worry too much!
