Longer feeds? 2.5 months

Question

Baby girl is 2.5 months and has started taking a lot longer to eat. We’re breastfeeding. 
She currently goes for almost an hour total. She used to take about 30 minutes. 
Anyone else? Is she just more hungry or has she gotten lazy? Anything to speed her up?

Answer

Try a different breastfeeding position maybe?
My baby is 11 weeks and I am trying to slow down her eating so she does need to eat every hour. Cause she's a snacked. 
I found a different breast-feeding position helps. Maybe it will help the opposite way?

Answer

You can try doing breast compressions on the boob that she’s on! It’ll get the milk out faster if she’s just hanging on the boob. You can also try switching back and forth between breasts multiple times, taking her off the boob and switching when she’s stopped actively eating on that boob. (All advice from my lactation consultant!)
