Typically, a baby is fed about 15 minutes on each breast 4 to 6 times a day. The baby should be fed exclusively breast milk for the first year of its' life. For the best interest of the child, continue breast feeding until the child is 2 or 3 years old.

Can a woman with Crohn's disease breast feed and If so for how long?

There should be no reason not to breast feed. If you are currently on maintenance doses of medication always check with your doctors about the medications you are on as some do pass through to the milk. Comfort could be the real deciding factor as having to quickly interrupt the feeding to run to the toilet may spoil the experience/bonding for the baby.
