Sometime babies take awhile to get into their groove with breastfeeding. You may want to consult with a lactation consultant to make sure that she is latching properly. Basically, you should feed her until she naturally latches off, which means she's had enough. But if she's constantly on and off, or falling asleep during feedings, a lactation consultant can help you troubleshoot so you can get her eating more effectively. For the first few months it really does seem like all you do is breastfeed, but their stomachs are tiny at this stage and breastmilk is really easy to digest, so it's normal that they be hungry and eat every 2-3 hours until they start being able to eat more at a feeding. My son is 10 months old, and he's got it down to a science. Sometimes he's done in 5 or 10 minutes! But, it wasn't always this way, and I had a great lactation consultant that came and did a home visit and helped me find the best position to feed in, assessed his latch, and weighed him to assess his intake. The La Leche League website has a lot of interesting and insightful reading about all sorts of breastfeeding related concerns, you should definitely check it out. Contact your OB and ask if they have a lactation consultant on staff, or if they can refer you to a good one in your area. La Leche League is another great resource to find one as well. Good luck, you're doing a great job! Stick with it!
