Dear friends,
  I think length of feeds must be seen in combination with other symproms. A leasurely feeding baby that likes long lunches at mom's and developping and growing well is fine. A skinny baby with big weight loss, feeding for long times each time, not growing, yellowish, not having yellow stools and mom not feeling any breast changes and weighing shows just tiny amounts after that long: I'd have a good look at how he's feeding all that time.

Warmly,
