I am laughing, if only because of the wide variety in "normal." Ben and I go for 90-minute rounds about 1-2x a day, and with Spud, there were a few months when I was filling two Medela 6-oz bottles up to the top (so, closer to 7 oz) every 3-4 hours.

OK, that probably sounds a little competitive, but I don't mean it that way. I have no idea what's usual for breastfeeding, in terms of time spent or ounces, and I really do think it's funny how much variation there can be in two healthy breastfeeding dyads.

(I am hoping Ben learns to be a more efficient nurser - a lot of that 90 minutes is spent falling asleep and being woken back up to take a few sips here and there (but he rouses if I put him down).)
