Is my baby eating enough?

Question

Recent two days, my LO can’t stay awake during each feeding session…he only eats 12 mins or so on one side and then would be asleep for the other side. I can’t even wake him up…I’m not sure if he is getting enough milk..
Please give me some suggestions…

Answer

Babe is probably fine! 
My girl almost never feeds on both sides and only eats for 10-15 mins. 
The only indications of supply are dirty diapers and weight taken by your pediatrician! 
Watch your babes dirty diapers. If plenty, absolutely no need to worry! 
To help babe stay awake:
Change diaper before feeding or in between breast
Feed babe naked so they’re a little cold
Play with babes feet while feeding

Answer

May I suggest feeding your little one on 1 side as soon as they wake up and then disturbing their feeding after 10 min for a diaper change. Then feed on the other side afterwards. This way, you are lengthening the time they stay awake for a feeding. Also don't use wipe warmers, having cold or not warm wipes will wake them up.

Answer

You probably have enough milk on one side to fill them up.
My boy has only ever fed on one side per feeding and he is now 6 months.
And I know he has been getting enough milk because he was 10th percentile at birth and is now 60th.
