4 month old short feeds, getting enough??

[Isadora]

Thanks so much ladies! I just worry as she is a small little thing. She did gain a great amount at her last weigh in, but I think that had to do with the introduction to solids and a bottle at bedtime? Trying not to rely on the bottle though.

Arte, same here, 5 mins for us is a huge feed!

Not likely to be the solids, unless she's on high-calorie stuff? More likely your wonderful milk

Your DD was born the same day as mine

My DD is a really quick feeder as well. She feeds for about 5 minutes and it's rare for her to have both sides. She usually just has one side. I generally never get the really full feeling anymore, but there always seems to be enough milk for her there. I've been a little worried the last week or so because my (still breastfeeding) toddler has been wanting to feed constantly, and I was worried that he would take too much from my DD. But so far they both seem to be getting enough.

Our bodies are amazing and even without getting the full feeling you'd be amazed how much can be in those wonderful breasts

Thanks Mylitta. Good to know you are in the same boat, especially seeing as your bub is the exact same age as mine! We must be doing something right!? hehe
