Length of Feedings after milk supply is in: (by day 8 at the latest)
- Allow your baby to nurse as long as she wants to on the first breast (up to 20 minutes). (Reason: to get the high-fat, calorie-rich hind milk)
- You can tell your baby has finished the first breast when the sucking slows down and your breast becomes soft. Then offer the 2nd breast if she's interested.
- Alternate the breast you start with at each feeding.
