Anyone have fast nursers? My baby girl is 2 days old and she take about 15-20 swallows and is done til next meal

of course during growth spurts she nurses longer and more often

no it doesn't, some babies are faster/more efficient at emptying the milk. she eats every 2-3hrs and gains weight well. I'd say if baby is satisfied and has enough wet diapers than you shouldn't have to worry.

@jaeparm, And does that make your baby nurse more often or what since you all's sessions are so short?

@jaeparm, Thanks for that bit of info!

my LO has been a fast eater since day 1 lol sometimes our sessions are only 10mins

Yea I didn't breastfeed my first three kids ( I was young and dumb) I went to wic and learned so much from them already. Babys will only drink about a teaspoon at a time the first two days. by day three, they should increase to about an ounce every 1-3 hours! Did not know! And someone on here said it best, your body is like a factory. If your baby isn't there to demand the milk, then your body isn't going to produce as much. Makes sense!

@brinnersmommy20, Lol cute she's probably making sure nobody else gets any of her mommy's milk!

@babes101116, Thanks so much!

Yup! As long as diaper count is good, no worries!!

@babes101116, Thanks for answering love...so this is a pretty good amount is what you're saying?

Their tummy is so small they don't need much
