Is this normal for 2 weeks?

So dd went from nursing 30-40 minutes on one boob to 15 minutes average on one boob. She rarely takes the second one but seems satisfied for 2-3 hours. Then she cluster feeds at night and sleeps for 3-5 hours. Is this normal for this age? I remember my ds being attached to my boob all the time. But he was a bad eater.

This was normal for my DD as well. I started to do one-side feedings instead of two b/c her whole feeding was 30 mins total, pretty quickly after birth. She would often have 15-min feedings total, so I just started to alternate sides for feedings, so I knew she was getting good fatty hind milk. If she seems satisfied, and is getting the right amount of wet and poopy diapers a day, I wouldn't worry at all.

DS has always eaten from only one side and was a fast eater from the get go.  If your LO is gaining and seems happy, just roll with it.  Let your LO be your guide!
