Hi there. My two week old is bf for 5-10 mins at a tine - during the day this will settle her for 1-3 hours, however at night when she wakes she will feed for 5 mins, I'll change get and offer more but she doesn't take it, yet if I out her in her crib she cries and will then take more food. Sometimes I'm feeding up to 4x5 min feeds in an hour. Am I doing something wrong? Any ideas would be great

Also when I out her in her crib she seems to get hiccups - sometimes she will go on me and get rid of these but otherwise we sit the. Out which can take a while

This sounds very normal and about average for a baby of this age. Newborns may well stop and start a few times during a feed:) she may be loving being next to you at night and not want to settle in her crib. Safe co sleeping will help here.
