for some weeks now percy has power slurped thru her feeds. i don't know if i ought to be concerned or not. i generally take consolation from the fact that she is growing and tracking about average in her blue book charts. but should a baby really get thru a breast in under 5 minutes? i continue to offer her the nipple but she pulls away, sometimes with quite a protest. i can only assume she's had enough.
i can recall spending 20-30 minutes a side. now she's drained both sides, burped and re-nappied in 15 minutes. perhaps i should just shut up and be grateful!
any thoughts anyone?

Petra, this apparently is very common. Rose has been a very quick drinker since an early age, so is probably not the best barometer, but she finishes her feeds in about 5 minutes these days. Some of the others are saying that their babies are finishing really quickly these days too. I think it's a developmental stage; suddenly there are a lot more interesting things to look at!
thanx sarah, and others who emailed me. seems percy is behaving normally.
