How Long Does it Take to Nurse

eggmankate · February 2014

I just want to put some feelers out there. We were going 20-25 minutes per side since birth until about a week or so ago when suddenly she got way quicker. For issues beyond my control we've gone to one-sided feeding and now DD takes about 18-20 minutes on just that one side. She has plenty of wet and poopy diapers and she seems content and happy. She's the one that pulls herself off and I try to put her back on but she usually does that comfort nursing. I know I just need to trust it, but I'm surprised that we suddenly reduced our nursing time down. Did anyone have this experience? DD is 11 weeks now.
