I just kept swapping boobs and trying to get a break here and there. It was exhausting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389428 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 06:15:04 +0000 Smurfette 1389428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R would nurse an hour every night to fall asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389413 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 03:49:29 +0000 Kemma 1389413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is a major comfort sucker so even now at fifteen months she'll quite happily suck 30-35 minutes or longer before bed!</p> <p>The sucking action is a very comforting and soothing for your LO and if baby's latch is ok then s/he might just be working on establishing your milk supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389405 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 02:32:19 +0000 sandy 1389405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely an hour was the norm the first few weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389305 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:58:26 +0000 ALV91711 1389305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely over an hour. But that is because I have nodded off and he will comfort nurse forever if I let him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389299 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:46:37 +0000 Thenetexan 1389299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 hr 45 mins. An hour was normal at the beginning and he actually slowed to 1.5 hours. At 3 weeks, the LC weighed him before and after and found he was taking 6 oz. I felt so trapped to our glider. In hindsight, I suspect that is why he slept so many hours as a little baby. I think I would take hours in the chair again in exchange for a good night's sleep. But, in the moment I was losing my mind sitting for so long. He obviously got more efficient later, but even at a year he probably took 30 minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389283 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:33:55 +0000 autumnlove 1389283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hour around 9 months. 3-5 minutes on one boob was her usual nursing session from birth til 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389275 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:28:15 +0000 jedeve 1389275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hour and a half as a newborn. No match issues or low supply or anything. He would just kind of fall asleep and keep going and I didn't know I could stop him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389274 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:27:52 +0000 birdofafeather 1389274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>somewhere in the 45 minute range! active nursing too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389270 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:24:27 +0000 Ra 1389270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO took forever to nurse (1.5 sessions each time) and we later learned it was because he wasn't transferring much. He had a lip &amp; tongue tie that went undiagnosed for several weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389263 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:20:08 +0000 heartonastring 1389263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was a SUPER slow nurser as a newborn. An hour was the length of an average nursing session...an hour and a half wasn't totally unusual. They do get more efficient with time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389255 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:17:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 1389255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the really bad sleep time, I would let her nurse sleep for full naps- she slept while comfort nursing for an hour and a half once. But it was mostly sleeping she would just wake up if I took the nipple out of her mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389253 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:15:55 +0000 daniellemybelle 1389253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we've done about 1hr15min of active nursing. I have low supply so she's rarely full from just nursing so now I cut it off at 45 mins. She will butterfly suck for hours though - I've laid down with her with my boob in her mouth for hours before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/longest-nursing-session-1#post-1389250 Thu, 30 Jan 2014 22:13:39 +0000 MrsH 1389250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is the longest nursing session you've had? Today LO nursed for an hour and a half (multiple times). Not sure if we are having latching issues but that seemed excessive. I had to keep switching between boobs. </p>
