how long and how many feeds for 3 month old?

My bubs is also just at the 3month mark and I thought that something must be seriously wrong.

She is feeding for 5 minutes on one side and then i will be lucky if she will take the other side at all. Sometimes she might feed from one side for just over 5 minutes but anything over and she usually just goes to sleep at the breast (x 3 times already today)

So maybe its a new phase in their lives and eating every 2 hours is just not what they do..

But you all seem so lucky, my DD has NEVER slept through the night!!!!!! She will wake anywhere from 1 - 3 times for a quick suck.. grrr

Thanks heaps girls for your insight! Just wanted to make sure it was normal at this age. She still weeing and pooping lots so I guess thats a good sign!!!

Hey Ery

DD is doing similar here and the same age as Ella, having 6 feeds a day have gone from 20- 25 minutes in the beginning to 10- 15 minutes each feed. 9 hours over night. I assume their sucking ability is getting much stronger and they can vaccum down more mik in less time- just my opinion though.

If you are getting those heavy wet nappies then apparently its all good.
