Long breastfeeding sessions

2023-11-05 12:17:59
My 20 days old baby takes almost 2 hours for breastfeeding. He seems cranky too after feeding. But he has more than 10-12 wet nappies. Does this long sessions of breastfeeding means my supply is not enough? After 20 mins of session I can feel softness and there is no engorgement. Need advice from expert/experienced if my supply is mot sufficient or there is some other reason for long breastfeeding Sessions?

Babies of this age tends to cluster feed that is long and repeated feeding sessions. Baby's pee count is fine so don't doubt your supply. But check whether his latch is deep enough. Long feeding sessions sometimes can also mean shallow latch. Consult with lactation expert online or offline.
