How long does your 9 week old breastfeed?

Question

Breastfeeding mamas, how long are your little ones (~9 weeks) feeding on each side during a typical feeding? 
My LO has decreased his time spent on each side by quite a bit (previously 15-20 mins per side, now about 7-12 mins per side). Wondering if he is getting more efficient?

Answer

My daughter feeds on only one side at a time for about 8-12 min. She’s always been a super fast eater

Answer

On average she started only 4 minutes on one side! Crazy. She'll eat between 4-7 minutes on one side only though.

Answer

About 7 minutes al together and shes growing perfectly. If she eats longer than that she has really bad gas pains for over eating.

Answer

My son is 11 weeks and the past 3 weeks he’s been feeding 10-17mins. He eats on one side per feeding. In the beginning it was 30 mins each side per feed then I was told he was most likely soothing. After about 2-3 weeks we switched to one side per feed and it was about 20-30 mins up until he was about 7-8 weeks maybe even 9.
