time feeding
« on: January 03, 2006, 18:55:07 pm »
Hi, I'm new here.  Just a quick question.  My daughter is almost 7 weeks old.  She's used to feed for about 20-30min every 3-4hours, and would go for about 5hour stretches through the night.  Now we're lucky if we can get her to eat for 10min every 3-4hours.  She seems content and is having adequate amounts of bowel movements and wet diapers and has gained weight well (however, she hasn't been weighed in about 2.5weeks).  I have a large milk supply and fast let down, so do you think she's just becoming more efficient??  I just worry she's not getting enough.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  :D

tracy talks about babies eating more efficintly as time progresses. I have a newborn who eats every 2 to 3 hours for 10 min. and i have a fast letdown too. I wouldnt worrie about it at all. just extend her play time, or sleap time.

That's normal. Most babies become efficient around 6-10 weeks and they can be finished in 5 to 10 minutes. Looks like your lo is doing great.
