How Many Minutes Per Breastfeeding Cycle

Joy - October 17

Hi, My baby is now 10 weeks old. In the beginning the feeding session used to take over 45 min. Suddenly last few days he takes only total of 20 min. 15 min on the right and 5 min or so on the left. Sometimes if I pump 30cc after he feeds, he takes that also. I am worried he is stopping in 20 min only because there is not enough milk not because he is really done...Although after he takes the extra pumped milk, he is fine for the next 2.5 hrs or so. How can I increase my supply? Is it even a supply problem or just that he is drinking faster now?

the older they get, the faster they eat, or the larger the gulps...my son is 9.5 weeks and used to nurse for 1 hr and now he's down to 35-40 min...sometimes less than 30...i can hear him taking larger gulps throughout the session...but he's a little slow still b/c he sleeps here and there at the b___st.
