How long does your newborn breastfeed for?

Question

How long does your newborn breastfeed for?
Do they feed on each side during each session? 
How far apart are your feedings?

Answer

Typically 10-25min, I only nurse one side at the time due to oversupply. He nurses exactly when he wants, never really timed it. 
My oldest typically used 30-45min when he nursed, and would often nurse every 2 hours.

Answer

Every baby is different but the average is 20ish minutes every 2-3 hours.  My first baby would eat for 45 minutes to an hour about every 2ish hours.  My current baby(#3) eats about every 3 hours for 15-20 minutes.

Answer

My first nursed every hour, 1 breast for 20 min to an hour. Till I switched to formula around 7 months. My 2nd is almost 4 months old and he nurses every hour for 4-10 min on each breast.  I also give him bottles of breast milk and formula bc I just can’t keep up with him.
