[quote=Anonymous]Sounds totally normal to me. Two things I would do: 1) Cut him off after 20 mins a side. With burping/switching, that maxes you out at 45 minutes. I read somewhere that after 20 mins, they're just comfort nursing, not really getting nourishment. When the feeds are that close together, an extra 15 minutes between feedings makes a huge difference. 2) Make sure that for each meal, he is actively eating for a minimum of 15 minutes a side. No snacking! No boob snoozing. Do what you gotta do to keep him up and going. If you do that, I bet 10 feeds a day drops to 9 in the next week or so, which is much more manageable, and then a few weeks later down to 8, and you can sail at 8 for a while. [/quote]
