have they got more efficiant?

[charlieann]

all day boy's only been feeding for 5 mins at a time every hour (except first thing when three times it was for 5 mins with a 5 min rest for half an hour). its usually been for 15-30 mins in the last week.
i keep offering him the boob again and try him on the other side but he's not interested.
is it that he and my boobs have got more efficiant at feeding?
should i offer him the same side or the other side for the next feed? (im bit worried he's not getting enough hind milk)

If it is less than an hour or so then I would keep with the same side. Then switch sides the time after that.

Hmmm 5 mins does seem quite short but theres not much you can do when they don't want anymore. I would maybe give him half an hour and offer him the same boob. Lucas would feed for 20mins a side but now he's older its more like 10-15mins.

Maybe hes wanting to quench his thirst from being so hot?

he wanted a feed from 8-11pm last night and hes been going for an hour and a half so far this morning. think his catching up on all he missed yesterday!
