How much milk can a 4month take at breast in 5-10min?

Question

My baby nurses only 5-10min she is 4months old. Any idea how much she could consume?

Answer

I heard baby’s become more efficient at nursing as they get older

Answer

My three month old can drink 100ml from one boob in 2 to 3 mins.. I have super fast flow and let down though. I weighed him once before and after to see how much he gets cause he normally only nurses for like 2 mins.

Answer

My flow is fast. She will only nurse for 5-10 minutes at a time and is full. I don’t think we have every nurses past 15 minutes. Not sure how much she drinks though.

Answer

My baby doesn’t latch well. I get sore nipples once she is done nursing. But i express milk into her mouth. Not sure how much she gets from expressing milk but her diaper output pretty good.

Answer

I just used a manual pump for like 5 min and got 3oz- they say the baby is even more efficient than the best pump out there so I’m assuming they can get up to 5oz in that time. My boy nurses quickly too for feeds and then also nurses for comfort for longer before sleep- and he’s very big and growing well! We gave him a bottle of over 4oz recently and he drank the whole thing no problem and 3 hrs later was ready to nurse.
