Combi fed baby having short breast feeds

Im also going through this.. baby falls aeep after 5 mins on the boob… i pump for the 20 mins but i was told to keep latching to help with supply no matter how long she nurses for.. also have you tried undressing her to nurse? I do that but she still falls asleep

Yeah I'm right there with you. When we were doing breast only his weight kept dropping. Had to switch to bottle feeding pumped milk to get his weight up. I'm so sick of pumping...

There is no length of time feeds “should” be. Babies don’t go by the clock. It’s much more important to pay attention to their diaper output and make sure they’re actually sucking and swallowing while nursing as opposed to just flutter sucks. You can try switching sides to see if she will feed a little bit longer that way, but around 10 minutes doesn’t seem abnormal.

This is my second baby where i am combo feeding. I had the same worry with my first but I had a strong milk pressure and my baby would drink fast. Once he was a couple months old, the feeds were only 5mins. As long as the baby is gaining weight and having many dirty diapers, I think it should be fine.
I always feed on one breast (baby falls asleep), then do diaper change to wake them up and then feed on the other breast.

Our little girl feeds between 5-20 minutes at a time and the midwives are absolutely fine with that. Most commonly she'll do 10 minutes
