How long does a breastfeeding session normally take you? For 2-5 week Olds?

Question

Answer

Mine used to be 20-40 minutes every 2 hours the first week. 10-20 minutes second week (sometimes 7-5 minutes) every hour and half or every 30 minutes. On third week he started to eat only 5-7 minutes every 15-45 minutes, and he started to use me as a pacifier. We are on week 4 and i have no idea how he is eating, he goes either from 5 minutes to 45 minutes. Every 10 minutes or every 2 hours. I have no clue on how he is eating this week, i can't find the pattern. But i make sure he does not go more than 3 hours without eating

Answer

My son is 4 weeks old and tends to fall asleep on and off throughout, so the whole session normally takes 30 minutes, would be longer if I didn't detach him. For the past few days he's been showing the hunger cues and cried, then when I feed him he just pacifies, no eating at all. The only time it goes well is when it's been a while ago once he last ate and he's really hungry and I've had plenty of time for my breasts to "fill up" again. I really hope it gets better!

Answer

My 4 week old will take 30-40 for a full feed. This is every 2-2:30 hours. And if he's cluster feeding it can take us up to 75 minutes! I heard some moms are good with 5-10 mins every 2 hours or so. Please someone share thy secrets. I get a good latch but my LO is slow AF to chug unless he's starving.
Will this get better?
