Is this normal eating for a 2 week old?

Question

She has been feeding less the last couple of days. Generally, she will eat 8-10 minutes each side each feeding, but yesterday and today, she’s only eaten the below times. (L means left breast/ R means right.)

Answer

Sometimes they feed quicker because more milk is coming out so it doesn’t take as long for them to get full. As long as the diapers are good don’t worry about it too much. But if you are super concerned a doctors trip won’t hurt.

Answer

She’s getting more efficient at eating and you’re milk is in now. All babies are different though, so while it looks normal to me (my baby is a quick water) it may not go other moms. As long as you’re getting the right number of wet/soiled diapers and gaining weight, then it doesn’t matter how fast or slow baby is eating. 
Also, check out the baby tracker app! It’s a great app for tracking everything and the builds graphs and such for comparison.

Answer

So, 6 feeds in 12 hours? And she’s peeing and pooping the right amount? Everything is fine. Just keep responding to her hunger and fullness cues. Her eating patterns will continue to shift as you grow into this relationship together.
