Another BF?
My DS is such a slow eater. I could literally nurse him for 2 hours with burping and changind a diaper and he's still wanting more. He will cry nonstop until I put him back on the boob or DH gives him a bottle of EBM. It's very hard to get out of the house or even off the couch! I missed my morning pumping because he's been nursing on and off since 8 am. How do I get him to nurse more efficiently?

Re: Another BF?
How old is your DS? They get more efficient as they get older but in the beginning they eat all day long! I remember adding it up during the first few weeks and realizing my DS was eating almost 12 hours out of each day!
Is this all the time or just in the last few days? If its just recently he may be going through a growth spurt.
 It gets easier!

Re: Another BF?
It depends on how old he is. The younger they are- the less efficient/ more they need to nurse.
Also- growth spurts can be torture as they will literally nurse all day long for a day or two until your supply increases.

Re: Another BF?
how old? Like others said, especially in the beginning, all you feel like you do is feed!
