Ren, what does your LC say about the 1.5 hour feeds? I would be inclined to ask her opinion. If she says all is good, the you can go with it, if she thinks it's too long for Ava, then you can come up with a strategy. I'm sure she wouldn't mind you calling her to ask what she thinks Yes, lots of babies feed for a long time, but given the hiccups you've had, and that you're now managing without comp feeds, I think checking with your LC would be a good step. It's difficult when you need to gt a certain amount of feeds into them, but they feed for such a long time, and then don't settle. You wonder when they're going to sleep!!!

Otherwise, yes it's tiring when they want to be with you all the time, but can be quite normal. It doesn't last forever
