Depends how quickly baby drinks. Usually around half an hour would be appropriate? Not an exact value, just a rough gauge. But e.g. if bf for over an hour, that would be way too long. It'll hurt your nipps and baby is just suckling for comfort by then.

My lactation consultant advised me to train baby to be an efficient drinker from the start. Usually 10 to 15 minutes on each breast and she will be done. Max probably 20minutes. She got more efficient as she grew

Many newborns breastfeed for 10–15 minutes on each breast. But they also can nurse for longer periods (sometimes 60–120 minutes at a time) .
