How long does your baby take to breastfeed?

My 12 week old DD still takes 45mins-1hr, only marginally quicker than in first few weeks... Is this slow? Feels like it must be or how do people do this for months on end...? 3yr old DS is missing out on a lot of mum-time!

What's your experience?

My 15 weeker takes about the same unless in a busy cafe when she likes to gaze around more than to feed

My 14 week old takes about fifteen minutes, but I think she grazes as she will feed every two to three hours during day, but longer during night.

My DS took the same if not longer at that age. They do get quicker and feed less soon though. Now at 8m takes between 2 and 20 min (or would still stay clamped to me for most of the night if allowed)
