How long do you breast feeding sessions last?

It sounds like you have a good supply going so I’m not sure why they would advise for that long of a feed lol. I would try pumping for a session to see how much you’re getting so you have an idea of how much baby is eating in those 6-15 minutes. Other than that it sounds like you and baby are doing well so I’d ignore that advice honestly 😂

Babies are supposed to lose weight in the first week because of all the fluid leaving their bodies, they will gain it back gradually over the next week. Your baby doesn’t have to feed for 20-40 minutes at a time, baby will let you know when they want a feeding and for how long. I would just continue to follow your baby’s cues as long as they are content and seem satisfied after feeds.

Your baby could feed from anywhere between 5-45 minutes at a time but mostly when your baby has a short feed they are more likely want more feeds during the day then their normal but all baby are different and your body makes how much your baby wants or needs

I was told a similar thing. What I do now is offer one breast, when she detaches naturally ill change her nappy and then offer the 2nd breast. She will now feed for between 20 and 35 minutes combined, and sleep for about 3-4 hours, which is such a blessing now her growth spurt seems to have tailed off, when she was feeding every. Blooming. Hour. I was exhausted but pushed through x

my baby is similar. She is 12 days and feeds between 6-12 minutes and go up to 3 hours. I was told the same to increase the session length. What were the tips that they gave to increase the feeding time ?

When my daughter was first born she would feed for 20- 30mins she was getting use to the boob, now she feed between 5-16 mins! I talk to other moms & they say as the baby gets older they know how to empty it faster I tried to get her back on but she just pop it right out that shows me she is full,

When I breastfed my baby never really fed longer than 5/10 mins but gained weight beautifully.. don’t worry

Also I think the duration can change as they grow, mine started on short feeds, a few weeks in was doing 30 ish mins and now ranges on the shorter side again! Although you’re lucky with the stretches I swear my boy has an internal alarm set for 119 minutes 😂

when baby comes off the nipple wind and put back on when they latch use breast compressions to help them get milk easier so they don’t tire so easy! I’d just be careful as she was so so fussy after that long feed as if it was too much for her belly x
