I asked my pedi about beating and fussing at the boob and she said it COULD be reflux. She asked if it happened at every feeding. Maybe ask about that? Our doctor won't treat it though, she said, unless it happens EVERYtime. DD gets fussy while nursing quite often. I burp her and then switch sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-fast-does-your-2-3-month-old-eat#post-1333870 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:47:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 1333870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C was so slow-- it was at least 20 minutes each side most of the time. I used to say she likes to savor her meals. </p> <p>The clawing thing just started recently at 5 months. Not so fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-fast-does-your-2-3-month-old-eat#post-1333834 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:42:58 +0000 lawbee11 1333834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has always been super efficient. At that age she was nursing on one side for about 8-10 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-fast-does-your-2-3-month-old-eat#post-1333820 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:40:38 +0000 daniellemybelle 1333820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have low supply so our experience is not typical, but she usually nurses about 15-20 minutes per side and she nurses both sides every time. She has gotten a little more efficient as she has gotten older but she stays on nibbling, pretty much until I pop her off.</p> <p>I think the fussing/clawing/etc is really normal at this age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-fast-does-your-2-3-month-old-eat#post-1332785 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 19:13:20 +0000 lilteacherbee 1332785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's 8 weeks old and nurses on one side for an average of 15-20 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-fast-does-your-2-3-month-old-eat#post-1332656 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:49:49 +0000 yin 1332656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9 weeks old as well, and he nurses on one side for about 10-15 minutes. I never had hour long sessions with him unless he was going through a growth spurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-fast-does-your-2-3-month-old-eat#post-1332647 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:47:36 +0000 Running Elley 1332647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is 7 weeks, usually nurses on both sides and about 6 minutes per side on average!</p> <p>@ms.janedoe: It sounds like she's just getting more efficient! Yay :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-fast-does-your-2-3-month-old-eat#post-1332639 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:45:45 +0000 Turd Ferguson 1332639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9 weeks old and has been EBF for 5-6 weeks now. She used to take forevvvver to eat, but the past few days have been a different story. </p> <p>It'll be time for a feed and I'll get her latched, and she'll be good for a little bit, but then end up suuuuper fussy, beat me with her tiny fists, and get cross. She'll usually fuss until I get her down for a nap after. Her diapers have seemed to be good (as far as number of wet/dirty), so I'm assuming she's getting enough, could she really just be eating that much faster?!</p> <p>I kind of miss the old peaceful (NOT getting scratched/hit) hour long nursing sessions! ;) </p>
