Am I just really rubbish at breastfeeding or is this ok?

I'm using nipple sheilds because he has a poor latch and he's dropped from 2nd percentile to 0.4th percentile.

Seems alert, good nappies, etc. But he's been feeding since 4.30pm and still going. Is this even normal?!

This is normal at this age there is a big development leap where their head grows, their senses develop etc and it makes them cluster feed for fuel and comfort. Mines doing it too!
