how long does your newborn breastfeed when they wake up at night?

Question

my newborn will sleep from like 9pm-1am then want to stay up for three hours breastfeeding then short break to change diaper then more breastfeeding then he’ll get sleepy but when i try to put him down he wants to breastfeed more!!

Answer

I had this and was advised its little one going through a growth spurt 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I nurse 20 minutes a side then pace bottle feed a couple oz (Dr advised) then he wants to be held and opens his eyes often to make sure I'm still there. 8 days old

Answer

I cosleep with my boob out, baby feeds as we both drift off to sleep 😂 I swear it's saved me from feeling absolutely exhausted because I can now get through most days without a nap unless we have a rough night.

Answer

Can you hear or see him swallowing the whole time? I feel like my baby would throw up of she ate that much in one sitting.

Answer

Geeze, my week old just now started nursing for 15-20 mins. Shes been nursing 4-10 minutes every 1.5 hours till now. Your poor nipples!!!!

Answer

Mine has never nursed for that long. I’m sure it’s comfort nursing after a certain point

Answer

My baby nurses for 2-3 hours like once a day. Luckily it isn’t at night.  But I’m not sure why :/

Answer

Maybe do a dream feed before you go to bed that way babe isn’t waking up and is filled up abit more.
