Hello, need some advice... over the last 3 days my 10 week old dd has suddenly shortened the lenght of her feeds quite dramatically. She on a 3 hour routine, and used to spend about 20 minutes (but only have one breast) feeding. All of a sudden she seems to be 'finished' in 10 minutes, but if I offer her the other breast, then she'll have another 5 - 10 minutes or so. She's still quite little for her age (around 10lbs), but doesn't seem hungry and has been unusually calm and content. I am slightly freaked. What is it? I know babies are supposed to become more efficient eaters but it's just happened overnight... Up until now, she's been gaining around 7-9 ozs per week, and I'm worried that she'll lose weight.
The only other thing is that she's been drooling a lot, and I'm not sure whether this might be the start of teething.
