What Should Be The Duration Of A Single Feed In An Older Infant?
It can vary from less than 5 minutes to 20 or more minutes. Some babies are slow feeders. But they take the same total amount of milk as fast feeders. If we stop a slow feeder before she is ready, she may not take enough milk. Also she may not get the energy-rich hind milk that she needs to grow normally. Please remember that suckling for a prolonged period does not cause sore nipples.
