My EBF 11 week old DS has suddenly (over the last week), significantly reduced the amount of time he spends eating. He still nurses the same number of times per day, he just spends a lot less time doing so - about half the amount of time he was previously (I keep track... because I am anal).
I wouldn't be too worried about this because I know babies get more efficient as they get older, except that my poor boobs are so full! I am not really convinced that he is eating the same amount as he was. Plus, I have had oversupply, and I am not sure that he is getting enough hindmilk in his short feeding sessions. He is a frequent pooper with one good yellow poop per day and the rest being varying shades of green (Is this even a big deal? I read conflicting information about it). He also has several wet diapers a day.
Other than this, he seems totally normal. Am I worrying about this unnecessarily?
ETA: I don't have him on a routine/schedule or anything like that, I just keep track of when and how long he eats. I am not trying to modify it in any way, I just think it is cool to keep track of these things and see what happens over time.
