Does this sound normal?

DD is 15 weeks and EBF. In the last 2 weeks or so she has decreased the frequency and length of her feeds. She also soemtimes fusses at the breast as if she doesn't want to be there - but this could be wind or me trying to fee her when not hungry. We're looking at around 7 feeds in 24 hours - very roughly - 5am, 8.30am, 10.30am, 1pm, 3.30pm, 6.00pm and 8pm. Each of around 15 mins, one or two sides. Sometimtes she will go 3 hours between feeds during the day which she has never done before!

Is it normal for them to drop feeds and decrease feeding time at this atge? She's not been weighed for a couple of weeks but her weight up til now has been fine and plenty of nappies of both types.

Sounds normal to me. DS started to drop a feed around this time - then got really hungry around 20 weeks with a growth spurt. As long as she's weeing/pooing/seems contented and doesn't suddenly start losing weight I really wouldn't worry.

My 15 week old has just done the same! Feeding about every 3 hours, takes both sides in 10-15 minutes. I haven't had him weighed recently either but he seems quite content.

Totally normal. She sounds like she's doing very well.
