Q. #AskTheExpert#MamyPoko Hi Sir. My delivery happened few days ago and I was blessed with baby boy. He is 16 days old now completing 2 weeks. I have query regarding his feeding pattern. He is taking feeds for 40 - 45 mins now and if he's not falling asleep with that, he would again demand for milk. Again that would be a small feed for 15-20 mins. So in one and a half or 2 hours he would feed sometimes for an hour or 1 hr 15-20 minutes not at a stretch but breaking the feed. (45 mins feed first, a gap and again for 15-20 mins). So wanted to check if it is normal for new born to feed for this much time 45 mins to 1 hr 20 mins. Few suggested that the ideal time would be 20 mins to half n hour per feed. Kindly let know you're thoughts on this.

Q. #Mamypoko#AskTheExpert Is it normal for babies to take feed for 45 mins or upto 1 hr 15-20 mins. My baby is 16 days old and he is taking feed at this duration. Say in 2 hrs he would take 1 feed for 40-45 mins. Again if he isn't falling asleep he would demand more milk and feed for another 15-20 mins. So in 2 hrs he might feed upto 1 hr 20 mins at times ( First feed for 40-45 mins then a break and then second feed for 15-20 mins). Once he took feed upto 1 hr at a stretch. Kindly let know if these feeding duration is normal for new born. Few suggested that the ideal duration for feeding would be 20-30 mins. Kindly let know you're opinion on the above query and if feeding for long duration is normal
