Breastfeeding?

Question

How long do I breast feed on one side ?

Answer

Usually it's when the baby "pops" off. Once they get latched, which may take a few tries, they'll generally nurse until they empty the breast. Some are fast eaters, others slow, so resist the urge to take them off at a certain time. Once you nurse more you'll get a sense of how long it typically takes and the feeling of an empty breast.

Answer

Around 15. Not too much longer or long periods on one side. It can do more harm to your breasts than good. So you have to switch up.

Answer

My doc yesterday said 15 min on each side is usually good.

But ask yours cause everyone's situation is different. I'm pumping and giving it to my guy (long story).

Answer

You'll sort of just KNOW... I understand that's not much help right now, but once the milk is there you can kind of feel it.
I'd say shoot for 10-15 minutes a side until you figure out how your body works. This is what worked for me.

Happy feeding!
