Some sessions she can go for over an hour!! And then she still might want more an hour after that! Is this normal?? Dd is 8 days old btw

Re: How long have you breastfed?
DD used to nurse for 45-60 minutes! My lactation consultant assured me it was ok to unlatch her around 15-20 min on each side or sooner...when my breasts felt less full and when her sucking slowed. I had to take her off and she would cry but I think she just liked the comfort. Me on the other hand my nips were raw!

Totally normal. The first few weeks you'll feel like all you do is nurse!!
Google cluster feeding--sounds like this is what your LO is doing.
It will get much better!!!!

Re: How long have you breastfed?
I posted a very similar question when DS was a couple weeks old. I felt like I would feed him for about 45 minutes and he would want to eat 2 seconds later. It took a couple months for the feedings to get shorter but eventually you'll be able to go longer in between feedings.
