is my little one eating enough


baby only feeds for 10 minutes about every 3 hours is he eating long enough he also spits up after eating, almost every feeding... i just wonder if hes getting enough he has 8-10 wet diapers and days and lots of dirty ones. when i try to make him eat longer he doesn't so I'm guessing he is satisfied.

He's probably just a very effective feeder hun. Sounds like you're doing great. He's happy, plenty of wet and dirty nappies, and weight gain ok, then Im thinking all good x x x

Hey he sounds just like my little boy !!

When I was trying him on different routines they would all give a time slot of around 45 mins but Lucas is usually done in 15mins max so I used to be sat twiddling my thumbs for 30mins lol

Lucas is pretty much sick after every feed. Doctor said it is reflux and we try to keep him upright after every feed. Not that it helps but it doesn't seem to bother him.
