EBF Mommas, How Long Do You Feed On Each Breast?

Sarah

I have been EBF’ing my baby girl because she absolutely refuses the bottle. Lately, she has been spitting up more often. Our doctor says she has been eating too much, so I reduced her feeding times on each breast from 15 minutes down to 11 minutes. I should mention that there is also at least 5 minutes of burping time after each side.

I don’t know how much milk she is drinking, so I have based it on time. When I do pump for 15 minutes, I can get about 90 ml (3 oz) to 150 ml (5 oz).

For EBF mommas of 5 month olds, how long do you feed on each breast?

When your baby is distracted and won’t eat even after 30 minutes, what do you do? Does that mean they are full?
