I'm so frustrated right now… I have people telling me that my methods of feeding and pumping are the ways that I'm shooting myself in the foot… That it shouldn't take me that long to breast-feed and pump and change him… Or to bottle feed him and change him… I have tried both… And I'm trying to get the laundry done and all the bottles washed and trying to get dressed. Before it took me 10 to 20 minutes to pump my milk… And five minutes to bottle feed him… But it took me an hour and a half to breast feed him this morning… And then he still wasn't full... And then I warm the bottle up and he falls asleep and doesn't eat it and I dump it… And then he needs to be changed… And as I'm getting ready and I'm ready to go out the door he needs to be changed and fed again… I'm getting mastitis and my breasts… I have a stye or pinkeye in my right eye… and I feel like I'm failing everybody.

He's probably just going through a growth spurt. I wouldn't stress about what they're saying. You shouldn't need to pump yet you honestly. But if you do that is your choice and what's best for your family
@sawyersmom, it's about that amount of time per boob... And I've been feeding him one after the other in one feeding. Then I burp him, change him & them he does the "hungry bird" thing again.
Well typically it should only take 15-30 minutes. Are you sure he's not just using you for a pacifier
Who cares how long it takes 😬 if they aren't professionals or supportive they can shut up ✋ sorry mama 😔
My LO took forever eating at the breast, pumping my LC said only do it for 10 mins. She still takes awhile. BF is hard enough, I'm sorry you have people making it harder. Take care of yourself and baby, I'm sure you are doing great!
