Silly question I know! My DD is very distracted on the breast during the day. I used to easily get her to take 10 mins+ per boob but recently I am lucky if she will do 5 or 6 mins on each side. Is it really possible for them to get enough milk this fast? (it takes at least 30secs to 1 min for let down!!!)
I guess I know she is getting enough as she wees and poos for England but I am interested to know how fast other babies BF.

I have a fast let-down so ds has always been a speedy feeder. 5 or 6 minutes sounds similar to what he was doing at that age.
