Snacking instead of drinking everything

My LO has seemed to snack more throughout the day the last couple days. She will typically eat "good" about 3 times during the day... Meaning I am get her to eat one side for about 15 minutes, other than that I can't get her on longer than 5-8 minutes, sometimes even less. I don't have supply issues, she's gaining weight, and seems content. Anyone else have this happen? I'm a snacker and eat lots of little meals throughout the day (and did while pregnant)... Hubby thinks she just prefers to eat like me. We go for our 2 month check up next week.

    They get more efficient at emptying the breast so they don't need to eat as long. My LO has ate every 2 hours since birth and will go 3-5 at night. Most ebf babies eat every 2-3 hours

    Btwn 7-9 weeks babies go through a wonder week. Kinda like a growth spurt for the brain. During that time they tend to want to be more attached to the boob! My LO is 8 weeks today and he had been that way as well. I just enjoy it cause I'm heading back to work at the end of this month. I'll take all the time I can get snuggling my little guy.

    Mine does this too, she just was on for literally 4 minutes...it's driving me crazy!! She doesn't really seem satisfied but I don't think it's a supply problem. I'm wondering if she just doesn't want to work to get the milk?? In the beginning milk flowed out fast but now my body is more adjusted and let down takes longer. She is 9 weeks old...not sure what to do??
