My daughter only nurses for about 5ish minutes every time she eats. I'm just wondering if this is typical. I hear her gulping and swallowing, sometimes milk pours from the sides of her mouth.

She's always only needed to eat off of one breast but she was eating for 15 - 30 minutes in the first few weeks. I understand babies become more efficient at nursing but I just find it odd that it only takes a few minutes and then she's done, like lips sealed and won't take the breast for another 2 hours.

She has plenty of wet and dirty diapers so I'm not concerned about her not eating enough. I'm really wondering if she ate longer, maybe she could go longer in between feeds.

So basically my questions are...

How old is your baby?

How long does your baby nurse?

How often? And

If you pump, how many ounces does your baby eat?
