My second was much quicker as well. I think I pushed three times in 6 minutes and welcome baby! Advice on breastfeeding a second time around is that you have a well established supply. But if you nurse on both sides each time the baby may be getting too much foremilk and this will cause alot of gasiness and fussing. I found out the hard way! Hope this helps.golonghornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976346033514849600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14807310.post-97911342773310792009-01-01T19:51:00.000-08:002009-01-01T19:51:00.000-08:00Congratulations!!!
