Hi, wondering if anyone has been through what I am experiencing. DS is now 15 weeks and almost entirely BF. My big concern is that he only feeds for a maximum of 5 minutes, once every 1-2 hours. Once he has finished he looks satisfied, but I am concerned that he never reaches the hindmilk and even more worried that I don't actually produce it anymore (read that 'snacking' can do this). He is gaining weight, but only slowly (4oz per week), so I was wondering if anyone else had been through this problem and managed to get their DS or DD back on track and feeding longer as I am convinced he can only be getting 20oz a day max.
