Feeding time
Today i started giving breast feed from 7pm. Baby sucks and pushes my breast and cries. I can see milk in mouth or spilling out. Again i latch after sometime again pushes. Sleeps in between too. This continued. From right breast it took 40 minutes overall. Left breast 50 plus minutes.
Total feeding 1 hour 30 minutes . Then he slept.
Is this normal??
As i feel tired sitting N feeding continuously??
Is my milk supply enough??
Milk flowing out from side or keeping milk in mouth normal??
Whats average time usually breadt feeding takes once???
There is no fixed time. Usually it is around 30 to45minutes. Do not fix time table. Demand feed is the best regime.whenever the baby is crying for milk feed as long as he wants. Position of sitting counts. Keep your alternate knee elevated to feed. Give only when baby wants. Don't force. Always start with breast last fed. It allows complete filling, must do burping after use of breast.
If more milk is produced then it takes less timing.
Pl try it. If any doubt ask for more questions. We are available.
