Due Date Club September 2004:breastfeeding
2004-11-02
Name: vanaja



I read everywhere that the baby should be on breast atleast for 15-20 minutes. Now is the baby suckling continuosly for 20 minutes. How does one count? My 6 week old son drinks formula from a bottle continously, whereas he has never latched on to the breast for more than 5 minutes, even when I had not started formula. I actually started formula because I thought he was not drinking enuf.
