another question!

Oliver is feeding every two hours for 30 mins on the same boob, but I just read the boob is empty after 10/15 mins! so should i swap after 15 mins?

would this keep him fuller for longer?

Your boobs are never actually empty so he will always be getting milk out of them. Also some babies take longer to feed. My milk flow is quite slow so Seren used to take about 40 mins to have a full feed. I personally would wait til Oliver had finished on the one side (either coming off the boob or flling asleep) and then offer the second boob. Then when you feed him again offer him the second boob first (if that makes sense). This way he will be getting the hind milk, and not too much foremilk.

Don't worry about him only going 2 hours, at that age Seren was feeding every hour buit she now goes 3-4 hours and feeds a lot quicker. If you have any other questions just ask, hope I've helped :D
 
I agree with Beanie - she's great with advice!! :D :D
