Breastfeeding after one month: What to expect Do you know when your breast milk supply settles down? Share this content. When does breastfeeding frequency slow down? Does my baby really only need breast milk for the first six months?
It may only take your baby about 5 to 10 minutes to empty the breast and get all the milk they need. With the start of solid foods and drinking from a cup at approximately 6 months along with the ability to move around more freely, older infants may only take quick feedings at the breast then head off to play.
But, they may spend more time breastfeeding to sleep at night. While breastfeeding continues to be beneficial for older children , it should not be the central part of a toddler's diet. Toddlers should be eating and drinking a variety of foods. Your toddler may only breastfeed occasionally and quickly. However, they may spend more time at the breast if they are looking for security or comfort especially during an illness or after an injury.
Experts recommend following your baby's lead when it comes to breastfeeding time and not worrying about the clock. Once the baby stops sucking or falls asleep, you can break the suction of the latch , remove the baby from your breast, burp them or change their diaper , and offer them the other breast. During certain times, you may experience variations in the time it takes your baby to breastfeed.
You may need to adjust your routine to accommodate the changes to your baby's needs. Babies need more breast milk during and after a growth spurt. So, during times of rapid growth, a child may breastfeed more often and spend more time than normal nursing at each feeding. The increase in breastfeeding time is to try to get more nutrition and energy to support their growing bodies. And, by breastfeeding for a few minutes longer, it sends a signal to your body to make more breast milk.
Growth spurts can happen at any age, but they are common around 2 to 3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months of age. Growth spurts only last a few days, and then the baby usually settles back into a more normal breastfeeding routine. It can take a few minutes for your milk to let-down and begin flowing well. If your baby falls asleep or stops nursing before the let-down, they won't get enough milk. Plus, the content your breast milk changes from foremilk to hindmilk as your baby breastfeeds.
It's important for your baby to nurse long enough at each breast to get to the hindmilk, which is higher in fat and calories. Ending a nursing session before let-down also leaves your breasts full of milk. It can put you at risk for painful breast engorgement , plugged milk ducts , a decreased milk supply , and some of the other common problems of breastfeeding. Try to keep your baby awake and actively sucking at your breast for as long as possible.
If your baby is only nursing for a short time less than 5 minutes at most feedings, contact the pediatrician. Poor nursing could indicate a health issue, and you will want to have your baby examined right away. During the first few days of breastfeeding , it's not uncommon for a baby to nurse for a more extended period, or to nurse very frequently.
However, by the fifth day, your milk supply should increase, and your child should be able to get all the breast milk they need within 45 minutes. If your baby is actively sucking at your breast for over 45 minutes at each feeding, it could mean that they are not getting enough milk. Call your doctor, your baby's pediatrician, or a lactation professional to evaluate the problem and help to resolve it as soon as possible. Babies suck differently on the bottle compared to at the breast. Now, some babies have a difficult time with the bottle and feedings can take long, too.
But, since the flow of infant formula or breast milk from a bottle nipple is steady, a bottle-fed baby with a regular, consistent suck can generally finish a bottle in about 10 minutes. The flow of milk from the breast is not steady like a bottle. Breast milk may start out slow then flow faster once the milk lets down. The flow slows down again as the milk empties the breast. Breastfed babies adjust their suck speed to the flow of breast milk. They suck approximately once per second or slower when the milk is flowing quickly, and speed up the sucking when the milk flow slows down.
So, the time it takes to breastfeed depends on the amount and flow of breast milk and the baby's suck. Nonprofit donor human milk banks, where processed human milk comes from screened donors, have a long safety record in North America. Because most of the milk from milk banks is given to hospitalized and fragile infants, milk banks may not have enough to serve healthy infants at all times.

Being prepared for returning to work or school can help a mother ease the transition and continue to breastfeed after her maternity leave is over.
When a mother is away from her infant, she can pump or hand express her breast milk so that her infant can drink breast milk from a bottle.
Several aspects of breastfeeding are thought to decrease pain by multiple mechanisms: being held by the parent, feeling skin-to-skin contact, suckling, being distracted, and ingesting breast milk. Potential adverse events such as gagging or spitting up have not been reported. There is not sufficient evidence to suggest that breastfeeding can have a negative effect on rotavirus vaccine efficacy.
A previous study external icon found that human milk from women who live in areas with endemic rotavirus contains antibodies that can neutralize live rotavirus vaccine virus. However, in licensing trials, the effectiveness of rotavirus vaccine in breastfed infants was comparable to that in non-breastfed infants external icon. CDC does not recommend restricting or discontinuing breastfeeding before or after a child receives the rotavirus vaccine.
Breastfed infants should be vaccinated according to the same schedule as non-breastfed infants. Learn More about prevention of Rotavirus Gastroenteritis among infants and children.
