Within the normal rg: This growth pattern is within the normal range.Babies can extract 85% of the milk in one breast in 5 min & 95% in 10. If the kid is feeding efficiently & growing well, i don't worry about them.Feeding is both nutrition and nurturing.Some kids need less nurturing & don't want to stay at the breast after the flow begins to slow.
