You can feed the baby 10-15 mins on each breast & there is no fixed feeding quantity.you can feed the baby until the stops voluntarily. You have to feed every 2 and hourly or the max 3rd hourly, never give bottle feeds,new born sleeps while feeding & after 30 mins to 45 mins after the feed & gets up only when hungry & when passes urine/motion or if napkin is wet/disturbed
