Dd3 feeds occaisionally during the day but feeds mainly to sleep. I'm not sure how much is feeding/comfort sucking but I can be sat for 1-1 1/2 hours at a time.

I'm not an expert but my DS is 14 mos and his bedtime BF is usually 15-20 mins max. During the day they are shorter - I think by this age they are oretty efficient BF'ers and are also getting lots of nutrition via solid food anyway. An hour and a half sounds like a lot! She's probably comfort sucking. Hopefully someone more knowledgable than me will be along soon...

Goodness, my son at that age would feed for about 5 minutes. Guess it's mainly about comfort.

Is she asleep during that or that is how long it takes to wind down to sleepy state?

Ds is 18 months and feeds for sometimes just 2 mins, sometimes more like 20 mins. But he feeds very frequently, day and night.

That's a wind down feed. Usual feeds are 5-10 mins. And all night!
