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!

Falling asleep at the breast is quite common:) if he’s easy to unlatch after the 20minutes, he’s probably happy for now. If he’s hungry, he’ll want to latch back

just to tag on, what does it mean when baby keeps pulling at nipple? like, quite forcefully then sometimes nipple will pop out of mouth. then insert nipple back and baby sucks again. does it mean there’s no more milk so baby was frustrated?
