Baby eating for less time

My baby is 16 weeks tomorrow and some feeds in this last week have gone down in time quite a lot - round 8-12 minutes total time when usually it’s 20 minutes

Is this normal?

I have a 17 week old and last 10-14days been experiencing the same. Same amount of wet and dirty nappies and she's happy though. I think they become more efficient at getting the milk out so don't need to be there as long. It's weird isn't it?! I almost miss the 40minute feeds because I know then I can just zone out and watch telly!!! Now there's more entertaining needed 😂

Milk requirements typically drops at 4m as growth rate slows but it can be related to things like teething or illness too. If you’re worried speak to the health visitor

My boy has always finished his bottles quite quickly, usually 10 minutes, I thought this was normal but now I’m not sure I didn’t even think about it😂🫣x

@Megan I think this is for a breast feed not a bottle feed
