Feeding + Waste

Feeding

Hello, me and my partner had a little girl 3 days ago on the 8th and we're just looking for some advice in regards to breastfeeding and poop.

She currently feeds short but frequent, for example only feeding between 2 and 8 minutes alternating breasts each time. Have any of you experienced this as well or is it a bit abnormal? A lot of the information we've read is that they usually feed for block periods of say like 20-30minutes. So we're just a tad worried we're doing something wrong?

Also is it normal that babies don't poop as much? As again we've read that they do frequently. She passed the meconium poo on the second day but hasn't passed anything since then, have any of you experienced this or again is it abnormal?
