Not sure if this is a problem or I'm being daft...

DS is 11 weeks and most are less than 10 mins! He is thriving producing the usual wet/dirty nappies but the feeds seem really short! He tends to feed every 2 hrs and goes between 4-6hrs over night between feeds... Is he getting enough? I offer boobage even when it appears he is done and he's not interested...

He's probably just getting very efficient at it. Nothing to worry about if the output is satisfactory. Smile

Babies can very efficient feeders

My DD in particular was Like this

As a PP said providing he's thriving, wet and dirty nappies plus being nice and alert all sounds fine

Yeah - I'm bummed at how much crap TV I'm suddenly missing these days too [hgrin] not to mention the excuse for a good long sit down with a cuppa and biscuits
