how long does your baby nurse?

Question

I'm asking because the longest my baby will nurse is 9 minutes and shortest 2 minutes and average around 4-5 minutes I'm worried he's not eating enough but he gets like 6 wet and 3 dirty diapers a day and I only give him a bottle after his bath just because I can see how much he's getting and he sleeps longer. Just curios I'm the only one my baby is 2 months old if that matters any

Answer

I have a quick let down and my 7 week old nurses for 5-7 minutes on the first side and maybe 4 minutes for the other. Seems like the most she will go now a days is like 14 minutes total. I was nervous that she wasn't eating enough but she is gaining and sleeping almost through the night so I think she is getting what she needs. When I pump I get 10 ounces in like 20 minutes so it's flowing 😉

Answer

My almost two month old is an efficient nurser. Longest is about 10 mins total, average about 5 mins. He only nurses one breast per sitting. Eats every 2 hrs during day and 3-4 hrs at night. He's gaining weight well. Just gained 9oz in a week! (Was born 8.5, now 12.5)

Answer

My baby girl will nurse from around 15-25min. My let down takes a couple of minutes so she will nurse for a while. But like right now it being almost 5am n I pumped for a few seconds before nursing her she only latched for 9min. So u could have a faster let down n also ur milk flow could be the reason y ur lo feeds for as long as they do

Answer

Maybe 10 minutes. I get a let down pretty fast. At night when she's cluster feeding she will go longer and nurse about 20
