Brief Answer:
No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me try to address the issues one by one.
1. You should breastfeed the baby for not more than 20 to 30 mins at a time, with a minimum interval of two hours and feeding from alternate breast (allowing each breast to fill for 4 hours or more)
2. From 6 months of age
3. Ok
4. The baby can go 10 days without passing stool and can also pass stool 10 times a day. Both are normal. Unless stool is hard and pellet like you need not worry.
5. 20 hours.
6. Can be there for 6 months. Not a cause for concern.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards

Brief Answer:
No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
It is absolutely ok if the baby feeds for 10-15 mins at a time provided that the baby passes urine for more than 6 times in 24 hours. The baby will get the sleep it requires. You need not bother.
