Breastfeeding advice So I've been breastfeeding my baby since birth. I pump a couple times a day and he gets a bottle of…

I use a soother to stretch my guy out a bit between feeds. I find if he goes a bit longer between feeds he feeds for longer. If I let him feed every hour he will often only feed for 5 mins.

@pcchamp that's exactly what my baby does! I just wanted to make sure it was normal and that he wasn't just eating like that cause he wasn't getting enough nutrients or something. Glad to know I'm not alone.

My babe is the same way. He eats for about 45 mins to an hour each feeding, then maybe makes it 30 minutes before he wants to eat again. I'm so curious to know about when they'll be able to spread their feedings out more. I do love the time with him though ?☺️

Thank you ladies. That makes me feel better because I was seriously starting to question my milk. I think outsiders just don't understand if they have never breastfed before or don't know much about it because I myself had no idea until I started doing it. He's definitely gaining weight tho we just switched to size one diapers and he's outgrown all his newborn stuff fitting in 0-3 and 3. And we go thru diapers like crazy!

Very normal.

Breastfeeding is about more than just nutrition. Even being at the breast & having the hormones/endorphins released during bfing helps brain development & nueropathway development.

As long as baby is gaining weight & is having sufficient wet/dirty diapers then you are making enough milk & your milk is just fine.

Babies are supposed to nurse a lot.

We are going through the same thing. This is very normal for breastfed babies. Please only judge your milk supply by weight gain and wet/dirty diapers. It's so very easy to second guess !!! Keep it up and remember you are doing great!!!

I felt the same way about my ds, I mentioned it to a nurse and she said he might be going through a growth spurt. He'll either fall asleep or detach himself and it's like 1 hour and a half to 2 hours later he's hungry.
