Infant feeding

Most of my dd's feeds seem to take about an hour. She seems to be actually feeding, can see she is swallowing etc and she gets very annoyed if disturbed. Just wondered if it was 'normal' to feed for so long at this age. I had thought it might just be the need to suckle but she's not at all interested in a dummy. I wouldn't be bothered by these monster feeds if I didn't have a 23 month old ds who needs attention too. TIA

At least 4 between 6 or 7 in the morning and 10 or 11 at night plus at least one overnight (3 or 4am ish). I'm pretty sure she's getting plenty, she's definitely growing well.
