How long should a breastfeeding session last for a 1 month old

Breastfeeding a newborn can take anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes, with an average feeding lasting 10 to 20 minutes.

What age to stop breastfeeding

In the first few weeks of life, breastfeeding should be on demand when the baby is hungry, which is about every 1-3 hours. Newborns should not go more than about 4 hours without feeding, even overnight.

The length of a nursing session depends on various factors, including the baby's age, alertness, milk flow, health, latch, and the mother's milk supply.

It is important to ensure that the baby is getting enough breast milk by monitoring feeding frequency, wet and dirty diapers, and weight gain.

Breastfeeding has numerous benefits for both the baby and the mother. It provides the perfect nutrition for a baby's digestive system and protects them from infections and medical problems.

For mothers, it helps burn calories, shrink the uterus, and lower the risk of certain diseases.
