My son falls asleep while breastfeeding after a few minutes. Is this normal? And how do I know he’s getting enough milk?

You can look out for signs of fullness. Their arms fall to their sides and they get sleepy. I call it the Floppy Arm syndrome. You can try moving away and see if your baby rouses to suckle. If your baby unlatches and doesn't want to re-latch, there's a high chance that he has had enough. My baby nurses for about 10 to 15 minutes each time. My friends can nurse their babies for about 30 minutes.
