After a difficult start due to low birth weight we're now EBF. Weight gain is high, lots of wet/dirty nappies etc. BUT, it seems in the day that she's feeding for mammoth stretches. We're on for 2 hours now and she's still at it. She'll fall asleep while feeding but wake up as soon as I move her and want more. She's gulping/swallowing the whole time so assume she's getting milk. Do I just have a bottomless pit of a daughter or is this normal?
At night, she'll go for longer and I've been waking her every 4 hours to feed.
She never seems to drain one side either though I tend to switch sides to keep her awake.
Is there something I'm doing wrong or should be doing so she sleeps more and cuts down feed times?
