How long should a 4 month old feed on each side? My DD feeds for literally only a few minutes each side, I'd be lucky to make it to 5 mins on each side. When she sleeps through and I have more milk, she then has a bigger feed and definately does over 5 mins per side. I'm just wondering if a few mins is enough for her? She seems to be full and sleeps well. She demand feeds every 2 hrs during the day with longer stretches at night.
I worry about my supply, I have always felt like I dont have enough for her. I stopped taking motilium for a week and noticed a huge difference, I never seemed to feel full. I started back on it today as I was so, so low. Some nights if she is whingey and seems hungry I offer her a bottle of formula (hopeless at expressing). I have also started offering her raffertys purees once a day which she gobbles down. Her last weight gain was almost 400g in 3 weeks which was good. Rambling now, but feel like I'm starting to lose a bit of confidence once again...
Also wanted to add that her nappies seem much heavier these days even on days when she hasnt had a bottle.
