I am a little bit worried that DD doesnt feed for very long.
She is putting on weight so that is good but seriously the duration of her feeds are really short like sometimes only 5minutes, maximum 10minutes!!! She also does plenty of dirty and wet nappies. She poo's almost after every feed and it is the mustard colour with little globules so I think that is right. She is feeding every 2.5- 3hours during the day.
At night she has a feed at 6:30pm, sleeps until 11:30-12ish and then is feeding every 2.5 sometimes 3 hours after that.
I cant even remember the last time we had a feed for over 15minutes.
She only feeds from one side per feed and there is plenty of milk! I have a massive supply.
I find towards the end of the feed she starts to pull off and kick her legs around, and get upset as it is like she wants to suck for comfort and doesnt want the milk to come out but it always does.
I have been putting the dummy in when she gets like this and as soon as it is in, she drifts off to sleep sucking on the dummy. Is this bad? I try to offer the breast again but she is just the same with it.
Also does anyone else have a baby that feeds really quickly?
