Is it normal for your newborn to finish a feed in 10 minutes?

My baby was the same way. I breastfeed, but ever since taking him home from the hospital he nursed max 10 minutes per session. Pediatrician told me not to worry, some babies are just super efficient feeders. As long as he’s consuming the recommended amount of ounces I wouldn’t be too concerned.

What teat size are you on? Are you paced feeding?

My baby is a fast eater as well

Some are fast. You can try using a slower nipple and pace feeding. But baby might still be fast.

I breastfed my son and he was a super efficient eater. I also had an fast letdown and was an oversupplier so he finished in usually 7-8 minutes total.

My baby was fast on the bottle as well

thanks!

My health visitor said an ideal feed should be 5 minutes an ounce.... my little boy would never take that long to take an ounce. He's greedy 🤣.

I did however manage to slow him down by changing the way the bottle is held. I was holding it a little higher than it should be so the milk was coming out faster, now its lowered so the teat is nearly filled with milk (incase this isn't how you've been holding the bottle, like me 🤭)
