Is this normal?

Question

my baby is now 8 weeks old. she only nurses for about 10-15mins, sometimes only 5. i feed her any time she seems fussy because i’m not sure if she’s getting enough. is this normal?

Answer

It’s normal.  Babies get more efficient as time goes on.  Sometimes my son eats for less than 5 min (he’s 5 months old) and is good for a few hours.

Answer

Quite normal. You can try to extend her feeds by taking her off one breast, burping, change nappy and feed on the other breast (if the other breast has been emptied, if not, go back to original breast). 
You can try to settle her in other ways first when she is fussing. Quite cuddles, burping, nappy change etc. if still fussy and not tired, then try feeding. It may help to extend feed times and in turn non feed times (giving you more time to focus on yourself).
