LO takes FOREVER to nurse

Amanda • 30/ 🇨🇦 / Baby Girl born 08/29/19

My little one is 7 weeks and she can take an hour, sometimes more to nurse each side. She eats great the first 10 minutes or so, then gets lazy. She closes her eyes and just kinda suckles for awhile, then she’ll get like a second wind and eat again for another 5-10 minutes, then suckle again. Sometimes she will just fall asleep, but not always. I do all the little tricks to keep her awake.

She’s having a good output of dirty and wet diapers and is gaining weight great so I’m not worried about my supply at all. Just wondering if this is normal and if she will eventually get more efficient at eating or if there’s things I can do to help her out.
