5-8 minutes now. He's so distracted during the day, it's hard to get him to focus for any longer than that. He still nurses every 3-4 hours during the day and sometimes every 2/2.5 hours at night (I think he's still going through a growth spurt and the holidays messed him up). Nighttime nursing is still done in around 5 minutes, and that's nursing on BOTH sides. He cries if I try to put him down after only one side.

5 minutes if we are lucky.  I love nursing... but nursing a 9 month old is a war zone in my house. He tries to crawl away latched on.  I had cracked nipples last week.  Sometimes I pump and bottle feed just to get a break.

5 minutes.  I'm totally convinced that the whole reason she is nursing so much at night (about every 2 hours) is because she just doesn't eat enough during the day.  I try to offer her the boob multiple times during the day but she is just too busy.  She's also not totally into solids.

DS is 10m, but he nurses for about 5-10 minutes but he's not actively sucking the whole time. He's on & off constantly.
