Question for BFing moms...I've got a fast eater!
DD is 12 weeks old. She has always been a fast eater (usually 7-10 minutes on each side). Lately, she has been eating for only 4 or 5 minutes. She does get a little fussy, but calms down pretty quickly. During the day she eats every 2 or 2 1/2 hours and at night she goes about 5. Does this sound ok? I want to make sure she is getting enough..

When I took a Bfing class they said as long as baby is sucking "vigorously" for 5 minutes it should be ok.

That sounds great. They become very efficient at nursing over time so don't worry!
