There is no definite time frame as there are many factors involved such as whether your milk
supply has come in, the speed of your let-down, the flow of your milk, the baby’s latched on
position as well as the personality of your baby.

Some babies tends to get right down to business, while others dawdle a bit. Some babies, especially the older ones, tend to be easily distracted.

How long babies nurse also depends on their age.

As babies get older, they become more efficient, so they may take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes on each side, as compared to when they were newborns when they would feed up to 20 or 30 minutes per side.
