How long does your 8 month old breastfeed?

Question

I’m wondering how long does your eight month old breast-feed. I know they’re supposed to feed at least eight times a day. I use the baby tracker app and everything is measured in minutes. I was just wondering if anybody else did too. Yes he gaining weight and eating solids.

Answer

About 10 minutes, approx 6 times a day. I’m no longer allowed to watch tv or even look at my phone during that time bc she’s too easily distracted and interested in everything but eating!

Answer

How’s your baby 8 months old? Shouldn’t your baby be 10 at least if he was born in March? I’m confused.

Answer

My 8 month old eats 5 times a day for 15-20 minutes. Except her last feed before bed can last up to 30 but that’s because she’s more comfort nursing and winding herself down before bed.

Answer

I don’t track it but she only eats for a couple minutes to fill up. Otherwise she’s comfort nursing. She’s a very efficient eater.

Answer

I use the tracker on the app too. For a total day my daughter nurses 47 to 58 mins. If we are home she is a snacker...will nurse for 3 mins once an hourish, just crawls over while playing. We don't use bottles, but feed on demand, so I guess while out she just is more interesting in everything else so can go up to 3 hrs without nursing. She is doing BLWing for solids for one meal a day; just in the last week I'd say she is consuming more and dropping less in bib.

Answer

My son is done nursing from both sides within 5 minutes, he is a very efficient eater.

Answer

My daughter is down to 4 feeds a day. Takes her just a few minutes on each boob. Well under 10 minutes total! 
Even as a newborn when they reccomend like a half hour she was closer to just 10 min
