    My DD very quickly settled into 6 feeds a day and each feed took 15 to 20 minutes. I know that is a lot less than some babies. I just kept a close eye on her weight and since she always gained well I didn't worry.

    Oh, and I second the not sterilising the breast pump. I was told it wasn't necessary because breasts are not sterile.

    And I know that lots of babies go through big behaviour changes at about 3 or 4 weeks, so maybe that explains some of it? I think there is also a wonder week at 4 weeks?
