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

Their tummy is so small they don't need much

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

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

@babes101116, Thanks so much!

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

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!

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

@jaeparm, Thanks for that bit of info!

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

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.

of course during growth spurts she nurses longer and more often
