    It has varied a lot over the year, but yes, in the beginning it took a long time, but as he got stronger and better at it it takes less time.  Sometimes though I think he just likes to hang out on the boob and nurse for awhile, but typically these days its less than 10 min.

    My LO gets distracted easily so each session is less than 5 minutes during the day. It feels much longer at night. I remember those beginning weeks though. Ugh. It felt like she was attached all the time.

    In the beginning, it took 45 minutes to an hour.  Now, he's so busy that I don't even try and just pump/bottle feed.

    DD has always been a quick nurser... she was always done by 10 mins - 15 tops.

    In the beginning it was 45 min-1hour. ?I thought I was going to lose my mind, especially at night. ?Now he's so fast - 15 minutes tops. ?I sort of miss the quiet/snuggle time, though! ?

    Ditto here. 

    DS and DH get home before me, and he likes to nurse right when I get home from work, then fall asleep in my lap so I'm able to get some cuddle time in :)
