How long does it take to breastfeed?

Soon after the baby is born, feedings usually take 15-20 minutes per side and most mothers offer both sides at each feeding. If the baby falls asleep, start the next feeding with the breast that didn’t get nursed at the last feeding. Later, as the baby becomes more efficient, an entire feeding may only take 10-15 minutes!
