so my baby is 4 months and 1 week old and only eats 3 minutes on each side every 2 1\3 to 3 hours I've read on a lot of sites that a 4 month old should be eating every 3 to 3 1/2 3 for 10 to 15 minutes I've pump after 3 hours and I get 4 oz in 10 minutes of pumping he had his doctors appointment a week ago and his weight is fine but sometimes It seems like he doesn't get enough any suggestions?

If weight gain is good and plenty of wet and dirty diaps I wouldn't worry! Baby is way more efficient at the breast than a pump, so chances are babe is getting all they need in a shorter session :) you could always try offering an oz or 2 bottle of breastmilk after babe unlatches and seems satisfied to see if he drinks more. But I really wouldn't worry :)

@kmally, he has enough wet dippers but only poop like 4 to 5 times a day when before it was every time he eat but I think I'm gonna try the bottle after thank you!

Oh that's more than enough dirty diaps! Breastfed babies can go days between bowel movements at times ❤️ you can try the bottle but I definitely wouldn't worry ❤️

&Remember; your baby gets more out then pumping. So if you can get 4 Oz out, just know your baby is getting that same or event more out
