Anyone else got a speedy feeder.

My first girl was pretty quick but Bethan must be setting a world record. Average feed is 3 minutes! She's 4 months!

C has his moments! Sometimes he will feed for five minutes at other times he will go to town for 40 mins!!?? Xx


 
Finn is exactly the same and makes me wonder if he's getting enough. I expressed a 3.5 ounce bottle (took 2 days to get that much) and he wolfed it down in less than 3 minutes. Makes me think he's not getting that much from me?!

He never has a long feed! Longest maybe 8 minutes!

My lo is super speedy but likes to feed very regularly. He's also a speedy sleeper! Little cat naps. Little monkey, good job he's so gorgeous or he'd be sleeping in the shed by now ;) xx
 
Me! R feeds for 10 minutes a time, I don't know if he's getting enough but he seems content and plenty of nappies!
 
Alex is speedy, it really worried me at first as the midwives and health visitors said he 'should' be feeding for a lot longer than he was, so I was really paranoid he wasn't getting enough... however, he's always been above the 50th percentile, and recently got up to the 75th, so I'm guessing he IS getting enough :lol:
 
Bethan was up above the 91st at one point :eek: but her weight has starters to drop down, she's down to the 75th...her drop in weight coincides with these speedy feeds.

She's having lots of poos and wees so I know she is ok, but I just don't get how she can get everything she needs in 3 minutes?!

At her last weigh in the health visitor was a gay man so trying to talk to him about breastfeeding was just a bit weird lol

Haha, when I was in the hospital straight after having Alex I needed some help breastfeeding so I sent my OH off to find a midwife. He came back with the only male midwife there was :roll: Turned out he was actually far more helpful than any of the female midwives, but at first I was a bit like :oooo: :oops:
