is it normal for my baby to nurse faster?

Question

My son used to nurse for about 45 min to an hour every time. Now he nurses for maybe 15-20 min then passes out. Is this normal? 
He's 2 months old

Answer

Normal. He's becoming a more efficient nurser.

My girl went from 30mins to 10mins and now can get a whole meal in 5 ... Unless she's comfort nursing.

Answer

Yes, very normal. My baby did the same thing. Now she is 9 1/2 months old and her nursing sessions are about 7-10 minutes. About 4 minutes or so on each side. She is so fast and efficient, just sucks it all out.

Answer

Yeah some are more efficient at getting it out my boy is only two months and he is, plus my milk comes out fast it takes him 5-10 min to nurse 😂 he's been that way for a month/month and half too.... I used to worry but saw a lactation consultant and she wasn't worried and he's growing like a weed. They're all different just follow his lead he won't starve himself!

Answer

Totally normal. It was so great when my kids would get to 3-5mins per side. We call them efficient eaters 😊
