Any ideas why nighttime feeding takes longer than day feeding in the second half of the year?

BTW: I'm sharing this with my SO who is currently breastfeeding our third child (2 weeks old). Thanks!

I think certain habits/tendencies solidified once we both really got breastfeeding down. He started to get both more efficient and more distracted at the breast during daytime feeds, so those sessions would go faster. But at night the breast would help him fall and stay asleep, so I would tend to let him stay on a bit longer in the hope that that would lead to more sleep overall for all of us.

And congrats on the fresh baby :)

I hope it worked! In my experience the whole house sleeps better once the smallest family member gets past 1 year!

Thanks for the meticulous data gathering!
