MOTN feeding length

  We've been averaging an hour to 90min. DD feeds one boob, gets a change, feeds other boob, then another 5minutes before I attempt to put her down. If I put her down too soon then we add time for comfort nursing and try again.

  I have to supplement with formula...but always breastfeed first. In a good session, she transfers a little over an oz if I nurse for about 15 minutes on each side...then I still offer a bottle. I have debated dropping the MOTN nursing in the interest of sleep but worry it will cause my supply to get even worse...so here we are.

  Usually 40 minutes to an hour and that's just feeding time. I typically only change him at his second feeding but that takes about 2 minutes. He is a super slow eater! Ds1 was too. If I try to cut him off he will keep waking up.

  Doesn't take long usually. Half hr. or so. Sometimes she fights sleep and will take 1-2hrs to go back to sleep. Mostly we change diaper, she bf's one side only no longer than 15 min - she gets the job done. She falls asleep when eating. Burp. And then because she has reflux we have to hold her upright for 15 min. after. Not too bad.

  If she is awake, check/change diaper, feed for about 20 minutes and she is out.
  
  If I am dream feeding, I skip the diaper check and feed for about 30 minutes as it takes her a bit to get to eating.
  
  So, about 30 minutes in total either way.

  DS started sleeping through the night this week which has been amazing. If he does still have a night where he gets up to feed though, he usually takes a bottle for about 5 minutes and goes right back to sleep.

  I gave up on trying to put the kid back in the RNP and now just keep him in the bed, so I do side lying feedings and we both usually fall back asleep during that. I don't bother looking at the clock unless I'm awake enough to be that curious.

  I said 30-45, but I think that's mostly because I get caught up in what I'm doing.  I'm usually on the phone or reading while he nurses so that I don't fall asleep.  I very often get caught up in it.  We could probably get the MOTN feed down to 10-15 min, but then I go to pump afterwards so that DH can handle the next feed.  I guess I have a unicorn baby because he only gets up twice 9pm-8am, although both my older boys did that too (or better) by this age.
