Between 5-10 mins for us, sometimes only a few mins if she wants to go to sleep or wanting comfort

Yes depends on if its a full feed after a 2-3hour break where she'll feed for between 10-20 mins or a comfort feed prenap which could just be a few mins

Mine does generally 10 mins each side, but as long as he's happy and nappies are good, don't worry! I used to eat 5 minutes 5 times a day, I was just very quick LOL

My daughter and son have both been really efficient feeders.. each feed is around 4/5 minutes long. The most he has ever fed is 10 minutes. He weighed 9lbs 5 at birth and is now almost 13lbs so is gaining weight well! If baby is content, weeing and poohing as you've said, then I'd embrace the short feeds xx

My daughter is almost 4 weeks and she tends to feed for 4/5 minutes at time. Sometimes she’ll go for a bit longer but she always seems content, is gaining weight well and plenty of nappies. She tells us if she’s still hungry so we know she’s getting enough I went to a breastfeeding group and they reassured me there’s no set amount a time a baby should feed for. They could get all they need in that initial let down You’re doing great💜

@Sam my son was also 9lbs 5 at birth not sure on weight now but he was 9lbs 13 when he was last weighed which was a couple weeks ago. Thankyou! Xx

Thankyou everyone, really reassuring ❤️
