I try to feed little man half an hour each feeding, 15 minutes on each side, is that a good amount of time or should I try to get him to eat more? He's only a day old.

I personally do 15 minimum on each side when I can but for now I'm also supplementing to keep her glucose levels higg

@simplyfirstbaby, he almost always falls asleep so it's hard to get him to even nurse 15 minutes on each side 😕

Just let him nurse as long as he wants on each side. I wouldn't time it. If he falls asleep you can always unbundle him a little bit or tickle his feet. Because when they first latch on they get the fore milk but then they get they hind milk which has all the fat and goodies in it😊

@sexxymama83, interesting I didn't know that. I'm going to try to let him eat as long as he can 😃

In the beginning I had to undress my daughter and put cold washcloths on her just to keep her awake lol. Tickling their feet also helps. But yes try to nurse as long as you can on one side to get the hind milk; which starts about 10-15 mins into the feeding @carlyann00
