Hi,
my baby is 8 weeks. for the last two weeks i am lucky if i can get her to nurse 10 min on one side and 5-10 on the other(after changing her diaper in between). this is as much as she takes till the next feeding about 2.5 hours later. she has awake time for about 40-50 mins and sleeps 1-2 hours. she seems happy most of the time during the day. lots of smiles. but is a bit fussy all evening-crying. i try to nurse and she fusses, pulls off, cries again, i keep offering the best all evening, but lots of the time she cries after 20-30 secs and this continues most of the evening. sometimes then i leave her an hour or so and try again. it just feels like she is not taking enough. her weight gain has been good so far.
just want to know if this is normal. or should i be trying harder to get her to nurse longer at one time.
