How long when only nursing from 1 breast?

I was nursing one side at each feed, but went back to both sides. I'm now ready to go back to 1 again. She was nursing 10-12 minutes on each breast, but is now only nursing 15-17 minutes on one side. Is that long enough? She has plenty of wet/dirty diapers per day.

Best thing would be to consult the doc

Pleanty of wet/dirty diapers says she is getting enough....besides she WILL tell you if she's still hungry within a short time.......you can always giver her the other side if/when she asks for it!

Good Luck - I'd love to be a single-side nurser!
