4 month old-feeding?

How often should LO be nursing? 

I still feel like I am nursing all the time, like 20-40min. And every couple of hours, then forever to get her to sleep for the night. Could it be low supply? or is she just slow? 

Thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.

    My LO still nursed every 23hrs at that age and still does. However, she just became more efficient and we can usually be done in 10, sometimes 15, minutes. If LO is satisfied, growing, and having appropriate dirty diapers...I wouldn't worry about supply.

    LO will probably start getting more efficient soon. 

    DS spaced his feeding to 3ish hours around 4 months.  But each baby is different.

    Hang in there mama!

    Is she getting a full feeding when she nurses?  For us, the 4 month wakeful meant really distracted nursing.  He'd snack more than anything, and want to eat fairly often.  Before that I could nurse anywhere.  Once he hit four months, I had to take him to nurse in his room with the lights off.
