How long?

Question

FTM. My baby is 4 days old and normally nurses for 10 minutes on each breast or 20 minutes on one side. Is this pretty typical? Since my milk has came in it seems like he doesn’t nurse for very long before he is full.

Answer

Normal is different for every mom and baby depending on needs, fat content, and flow. At 4 days old he should have at least 1 dirty and 4 wets per day. 5 days old, 5 wets. 6+ days old, 6 wets per day and may go 7-10 days without pooping which is also normal.

Answer

Honestly as lo g as hes gaining weight you're good.     Babies can nurse for a very wide variety of times.
