Hi all! FTM here to a 9 wk old and EBFing. I’ve a question about length of feeds. So Marnie used to sit on the boob for ages… like 20 minutes and still clusters a bit in the evenings but during the day, she feeds for like 4-8 mins tops and is done. She seems content and in the mornings when I have rock boobs, they soften in that time. She’s still peeing lots and pooping as normal so I’m sure it’s fine but just looking for reassurance that feeds this quick are normal? I don’t think she’s getting to the fatty milk in one feed as when I try and swap her over, her poops are more foamy so I’m keeping her on one boob for a few feeds. She goes about an hr, hr and a half inbetween feeds and like 8-10 hrs in the evening.

Is this normal?!?
