baby full or not

how to know if baby had enough milk from breastfeeding? he falls asleep at breast but still with breast in mouth. if i never remove it, he can hold onto it till he deep sleep. if i remove he is also ok. so how do i know he is full?? i usually let him suckle 15-20min. TIA!

Lactation consultant told me if baby sucks efficiently it should only take 15 minutes to empty the breast. Afterward if he's still sucking it's probably only for comfort, which is not a bad thing. If you don't mind, just let him latch for as long as he likes as it helps build up supply too :)
