Ebf dd is 14 weeks old, and feeds 2 hourly. Nothing I've tried can help her go longer than this. She will only feed for 5 minutes and will never take the other side when offered. Her weight is just below the 9th centile and although she was at the 50th at birth I'm trying not to get too hung up on weight so haven't had her weighed for 3-4 weeks now.
She's bright, happy and alert (most of the time!) though is being investigated for torticollis.
I wonder if I could persuade her to have a little more each feed, would she go a bit longer? Every 2 hours at night is killing me and 18 month old ds is missing out as I'm tired. We co-sleep (out of necessity) but I don't sleep well because of it and wake up tired and achey.
Is there a way to make her feed longer?
