How long do you spend per feed and how long do they last until another feed? DS seems like such a FAST feeder. Usually between 5-10min maximum and he sleeps 3-4 hours. DD would have taken 40mins, 20 per boob!!!
 
My baby is a really quick feeder as well only 10-15min each feed since birth. I don't think my older son use to be that quick!
 
Isla is the same, 5-10 mins on one boob and 3-5 hours sleep at night x
 
Blake started off about 30-40 mins then all of a sudden decreased to 5-10 mins one week and has stayed at that. Sleeps fine though so must be enough!
 
George is getting quicker-used to do 40mins now down to 20mins , he's quicker in the middle of the night. Daytime he still only does 2-3hrs between feeds but he's sleeping pretty well at night so can't complain :)
 
Matilda can feed for anything from 15 mins to 70 mins and sleeps for about 4-6 hours when I wake her for her next feed if she hasnt woken up herself.
I think sometimes tho shes likes boobie cuddles and uses them as a comforter when shes had enough milk....Im loving BF'ing tho and hope I can carry on for as long as poss xxx
