How long to feed?

Question

For the mom's who breast feed (whether exclusively breast feeding or not), how long does your baby feed for and how old is baby?

Answer

My girl is almost 5 weeks and she now finishes a feed in under 15 minutes. We just do one side at a time

Answer

Almost a month old and it can take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes

Answer

My LO is 5 weeks and eats 5-10 min on a side. Sometimes only takes one side, sometimes takes both.

Answer

2 weeks and 3 days.  Between 7 to 20 minutes.  Usually closer to 10, but sometimes after she has had her fill, she will comfort nurse for a few extra minutes.  
She is gaining weight great and transfers well (I had a lactation consultant do a weighted feed when she was about a week old).  
My older daughter would camp out for 30 to 50 minutes at a time and did not transfer milk well.  It all depends on the individual baby on how they eat

Answer

6 weeks on Friday. I have had to start offering her each side in a single feeding for about 8-10 minutes each side. That just started this week though. Before she was good with just 15-20 minutes off of one side each feed.

Answer

My baby girl varies. Average is around 8 mins one side. But my supply is abundant and comes out quickly... if I pump in just 5mins if pumping I can pump 5oz from one side

Answer

10 to 15. Before supply was consistent 20
