How long does your baby eat?

Question

My baby girl is almost 6 weeks old and nurses for what feels like forever! We’ve gotten into a pretty regular schedule (nursing every 3 hours) but her feeds are usually 35-55 min! Does anyone else have slow eating babes?? Any tips to help my milk flow or encourage her to eat faster?

Answer

I formula feed and my baby eats slow like that too! It takes at least 30 minutes for him to eat 4 oz every 3 hours. I don’t remember my first son being that slow, but he had a big appetite when he was a baby

Answer

3weeks and nurses anywhere from 20 min to 45 min

Answer

Do you do compressions while nursing?? I have to stimulate him sometimes by compressions on the breast or I’ll lightly rub his lower jaw or behind the ear and he starts going again. 
He’s not really a slow eater, though. Our sessions will be anywhere between 15-25 minutes. We usually don’t go over that.
