Amount of time spent feeding

My 9 week old breastfeeds every 3 hours during the day.. can go longer but the trend is 3 hourly.

During the night she can go upto 5.5 to 6 hours, but it can vary from 3 hours.

She will only feed for approx 5/8 mins per breast, not taking both breasts every time.

Im getting plenty of wet nappies a day and at least one dirty.

Is she having enough milk?

I’ve always had a very good supply and fast flowing.

She can sometimes be fussy whilst feeding doing a few sucks then unlatching and carrying on like this for the duration of the feed.

TIA

I wouldn't worry too much at this point. Just offer the boob each time it looks like baby wants it. I believe in demand feeding. Others might have different ideas.

I'd go by nappies and weight gain rather than feeding time.

Fast flow might be the reason for the fussiness - sometimes expressing a little bit first helps with this.
