Is it normal at times he’s latched for like a hour then other times it’s 30 mins?

I only wake a baby up to nurse until they get back to their birthweight. Always feed on demand. Breast milk digests quickly so they feed more frequently.

To answer your question, I’ve always counted at the start of each feeding.

Feed on demand. Whenever baby is hungry, feed them. But if you’re keeping track, it’s from the start of the feed.

It's best to feed on demand. Whenever they are fussing or looking like they want to eat. And I think 4h is too long it's more like 2 Or 3 from when they finish last feed. If newborns sleep more than a few hours I'd wake to feed.

Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed…

Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared lol
