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!

Depends a bit on how old. If your baby is very young you might want to make sure they feed longer. For an older baby I usually wait until I know he’s only doing non-nutritive sucking. Let him suck a bit then take it out. At least that’s what o do with my 6 month old. Sometimes if I didn’t take it out he would keep sucking for a very long time.
