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
