Breast Feeding time

I have a fast let down. It's usually a problem in the beginning because it makes my babies choke, it comes out too fast. And if they pull away, they get sprayed 😂 they can be done eating in 5 to 10 minutes. When I pump, I can get 2 oz from one boob in 5 minutes, or even 4oz if I'm quite full. My babies also only eat from one side, then I feed them from the other the next time. If I offer the other side, they won't take it. Honestly, if baby is getting fed and pooping regularly, and gaining weight, then you're probably fine. It's hard to measure how much baby is eating like you can with bottle feeding, unless you're weighing them before and after every feed (which I have never done). But as long as they're healthy, you're fine.

I don’t think watching the clock is gonna tell you how much your baby has eaten…. You can always do a weighted feed w/ a LC to see how much baby is getting.
I did one at 6 weeks & my daughter chugged 2.5 oz in about 6 mins. Lol so you just never know!

My baby never eats for longer than 10 mins 🤷🏻‍♀️

My 4 month old eats for like 3-5 minutes I have a fast let down though so I think she just gets enough quick .

My baby eats for 5-10 minutes too! I have a fast letdown and he’s an efficient little eater. He hasn’t nursed for 15-25 minutes since he was maybe 6-8 weeks old (20 weeks now). I usually only feed him on one side each time I nurse. If I offer the second side he spits up from being overly full. I’ve done a weighted feed before and he got 3.5 ounces from 10 minutes on one side, so it works for us. As long as he’s gaining weight and has plenty of wet diapers you’re fine!

Babies get efficient at feeding, don’t worry about timing. As long as baby eat and happy and gaining weight then you’re good

You girls are all so lucky mines on the titty for what seems like hours then I have to supplement with formula cause she's still fussy

I was also told this and it sent me on a spiral, like it’s already hard to believe the milk is even there (I had low supply for so long due to blood loss) and then lactation consultants keep saying ain’t no way my baby is getting enough in 10minutes even though she is growing on her curve and peeing and pooping like a champ. What really threw me off was one LC’s offhand comment to when I said ”if she is isn’t getting enough how is she growing and all that” she said ”you would be surprised”. Like underneath all that growth and milestones-hitting she was somehow still suffering because she isn’t nursing for 20minutes 🧐🧐

All of this really makes me feel better abt feed times. My pediatrician was very adamant about the 15+ minutes but I’ve timed every single feed since she’s been born and they are almost NEVER more than 15 mins.
