DC1 is nearly four weeks and we're slowly getting the hang of breast feeding. The thing is, she does quite short feeds, most are around 10/12 mins and she always falls asleep before I can offer the second boob.
We asked the hv of this was ok and she said that anything over five mins counts as a feed, however when we asked jet whether it was fine if most (80%) of the feeds were short then she couldn't really answer.
Anyone know of this is ok? She trends to have about three hours between feeds, less at night and I've been giving her a bottle of expressed Breast milk before bed mostly because I'm paranoid she isn't getting enough.
Plenty of wet nappies and yellow Poos, weight wad an issue at the start but we're back up to birthweight now.

4 weeks old, quick breast feeds every three hours. Should I be worried?
