Tag: what is considered a good breastfeeding session duration

When it comes to breastfeeding, new moms often wonder how long each session should last. While there is no fixed duration, it is generally recommended that a breastfeeding session should last for about 10 to 20 minutes per breast. However, this can vary depending on the baby's age, milk supply, and individual needs. It's important to ensure that the baby is latching properly and nursing effectively to ensure efficient milk transfer. Some babies may finish their feed in less time, while others may take longer. Paying attention to your baby's cues and offering both breasts can help ensure they are getting enough milk. Remember, every baby is different, so trust your instincts and seek support from lactation consultants or healthcare professionals if needed.
