If the baby is hungry and your lactation is good,feeding 5 mins at each breast is enough. Give breastfeeds at a gap of at least 2 hours,don't wake him up for a feed,give nothing else by mouth. The best indicator of sufficient oral intake is the urine output,which should be at least 5-6 times a day.
