    This may be, s/he may be eating longer because you are running out. i had to stop feeding my kids both at a month or 2 because i was actually starving them. she would eat for an hour sleep 30 min. then wake up and want to eat for another hour i asked my dr what to do she said pump your milk befor you feed see how much you get if its less the 2 ounces within 15 min you are not giving them enough food. i pumped less then an ounce in 15 min. i found out she was starving i put her on formula and she ate 8 ounces in one sitting and slept for 5 hours. i hope this is not whats happening to yo it was heart breaking to stop for me. hope this helps you.
