Breastfeeding

When did your baby become more efficient?

My first LO had to get cut off at 20 minutes each side...took forever, even at 4 months old. My second LO is 5 weeks and I'm hoping he would be more efficient eventually. Just curious when your LO's got more efficient? I see these posts where the baby only nurses one side for less than 10 mins...totally jealous!

Re: When did your baby become more efficient?

  • Right around 12 weeks, my LO pretty much overnight became more efficient and nursing finally seemed easy for both of us.

  • For us it took until 4-5 months. I know that is a long time, but that is just how the little guy rolls!
