Frequently Asked Questions:
For a 5 day old newborn infant baby, how long should each breastfeeding session last?
My son frequently falls asleep during breastfeeding, which means that it often takes as long as an hour for him to get full. That doesn't leave much time for Mom to get sleep, given that our pediatrician wants the feedings to occur every 2 to 2.5 hours.
So, is a full hour of feeding necessary, or does the baby get much of the benefit from the feeding in a shorter time?
The first few weeks of nursing is the hardest, and very often new moms give up by the time the baby is six weeks old. Your baby is still learning about nursing, and he isn't very good at it as of yet. The best thing you can do is to just give up: that means that you give up the house work, the laundry, whatever else you can give up, and just be mom for the moment. It will very quickly pass by, and after six weeks, he should be able to go longer between feedings, and nurse like a champ in 30 minutes or less. The going without sleep is the hardest, and I fell asleep nursing more times than I can count in those first few weeks. I would be asleep in the rocking chair with the little one still attached to the breast! After awhile I just took to co-sleeping: put the little one to the breast, and if I fell asleep, I was in my bed. Best thing I did for myself. My daughter took over an hour to nurse because she was a premie and her suck reflex wasn't well developed. And she ate every 2 hours. When she hit 12 weeks (6 weeks early) she slept a little longer, and nursed well. My youngest son nursed every two hours. It took him about two weeks to learn how to suck well, and each nursing lasted about 40 minutes. As you can tell, there just really isn't a lot of sleep the first few weeks. Hang in there; you can do it. Check out the La Leche website for more support.
