When breastfeeding how long should you feed them on each nipple for? Also, if you are using a breast pump how much should you pump out? thankyou

Baby will just stop when they've had enough, you can offer the other side and they'll take or not as they want to.

I was pretty lucky with feeding so I think it may depend on your flow, when it comes to pumping, you should definitely try at different times of the day, i got more in the am, but I read that everyone produces at different times so it's worth trying. Again I can only go on my own experience but I could feel when there was a lot of flow and then when it slowed... all this starts to become easier with time, but I'm a firm believer in having to give it a good couple of months to get into the swing of it. It's definitely like a brand new pair of leather shoes you have to wear them in Grin
