First of all, don't worry about how LONG your baby nurses. Some babies
can get pretty efficient early on. Instead, count those wet and poopy
diapers! At two weeks of age, your baby should be making 6-8 soakers
every day, and probably still at least one good and poopy one daily as
well.

If your baby is making enough diapers, then just be grateful that she's
feeding efficiently.


Can I just add that that is 6-8 *cloth* nappies. 5 heavy disposables a day
shows she is getting enough input!
