the last day or 2 Megan has only been feeding for about 5-10 minutes. She is having plenty of wet nappies about 5
so far today so she must be getting enough from me.
When Sam was around 6 weeks she started feeding for around 5 minutes max. She always got plenty though.
Sounds like you probably have a nice fast let down
My second baby feed very fast, about 5 mins per side.
As long as she has wet nappies I wouldn't worry. Like the others sounds like you might have a excellent let down reflex.
When she starts to get a little bigger and a little hungrier you might find that she increases the amount of time on the breast to stimulate more milk production.
When Hayley was still so small she also only feed for about 5mins on the one side and 2-3min on the other side and the weight she put on was correct for her age...
i think that as long as the pick up what they are suppose to it doen't matter how long they feed...
