Time your breast feeding

Keep track of how long baby eats on each side. Sometimes it varies but it will help you so you are not breastfeeding all day long. The average is ten minutes on each side, but all babies are different. Once you figure out how long your baby needs to be satisfied you can use that time at night to make sure he is eating and not just sucking to sloth himself to sleep. The first few weeks let him breastfeed as long as he wants. You really want him to get as much food as he can. Than he will start to make his own schedule all you have to do is watch the clock.
