How long does your newborn breastfeed for?

Question

Hi , I’m FTM here with 12 day old baby and still figuring out breastfeeding. My baby doesn’t latch well. And only latches on right boob😅.  Im pumping to keep my milk supply and I’m also supplementing with formula when needed. 
How long does your newborn breast feed for in one sitting ? My baby only latches for 10-15 and stops and goes to sleep. I also pump and able to get 100ml in 35mins of pumping or sometimes 70ml. Pleas help and let me know your input. 😊really appreciate it.

Answer

My youngest would typically nurse for like 7-12 minutes and be happy, my oldest closer to 45+ minutes. 
Be sure to pace feed bottles:

Answer

My first took 40 minutes. My second took 5-10

Answer

There is no reason to be pumping here. You can easily create a mess of an over supply and have lots of problems.
Have you seen an IBCLC for the latch issue?

Answer

My baby is 10 days old and he nurses for about 15-20 mins. he falls asleep as well.

Answer

My first upwards of 30 mins, 10 on each side. My second 5-10 mins usually and only one side most feeds. It's interesting seeing the difference between the two of them .
