A member asked:

Is it normal 3 months old baby to breastfeed only 5-8 minutes every two hours ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Might: A baby can extract 80% of what is in a breast within 5 min if they are an effective feeder. Some develop a "business only" approach to feeds & do not seem to need or want the nurturing we expect when the breastfeed.When they are feeding that often, they are also more of a snack feeder than a long term feeder. Delaying feeds for 5 min/ time can sometimes push them to feed a bit longer & less often
