How long does your little ones nurse for?

Question

My little one will be four weeks tomorrow. He was nursing for about 30-40 mins. The last week or so he only does 10-15 mins. He seems content and goes 3 hours between feedings. It just doesn't seem like a long time to nurse. I'm curious what other babies are doing.

Answer

When they start nursing for 15 minutes it's because they have become so efficient at getting their milk. So they fill up and are satisfied quicker. Sometimes if they are lazy then they will take longer.

Answer

My boy is 2 weeks and feeds for about 5-10 minutes every 2 hours or so

Answer

Yep, 10-15 here. Sometimes even less, and 3 hours apart as well. She's always been very efficient and you may have a quicker flow of milk that helps him eat more in a short time.

Answer

Baby girl is 8 weeks. Sometimes she nurses for an hour, sometimes ten minutes. Sometimes she goes 4 hours between feeding, sometimes less than an hour.

That's the good thing about nursing is your baby knows what they need

Answer

My lil girl is 4 weeks and she does 10 mins on one boob. And in about 15 mins she goes to the other boob for 10 more mins. Then sleeps for an hour and a half (sometimes longer) then we start all over.

Answer
