A. Yes it is very normal but I think your child is taking a really long feeding in this age because usually kids have a very good latching capacity so they take a fee for 5 to 10 minutes or maybe 15 minutes but 40 to 15 minute per time is actually much higher so I think you should consult a lactation specialist one time
