4 month old EBF not feeding very long

How long are your babies taking to feed and how often? My nearly 5 month old is feeding every 2-3 hours but only a few minutes on each side 🤔

Mine is the same. She'll literally only latch for about 5 mins tops.

4.5 month old is feeding every 2 hours and is only having one side for 5-9 minutes. I think they’re super efficient at this point, I miss the long feeds where I could settle down and put on a series for a good 40 mins 😂
But when feeding in the night, I much prefer these quick feeds

It's normal, as long as they're thriving you've got nothing to worry about. Your letdown gets quicker and baby gets more efficient

My little boy is usually between 5-12 minutes now. He used to feed for 20 mins or more! It was quite a sudden change a couple weeks back

Thank god it’s not just us! I’ve been driving myself insane trying to keep her latched longer and she’s been having none of it 🙈 can’t believe how short these feeds are compared to the early days
