Hi,

Well done on your first 3 weeks of being a mother. Breasts are only relatively full, or relatively empty. They are never completely empty (though I think they can sometimes be completely full - going on the way they feel) Usually your baby is the best guide. She will come off one side looking full, drunk and sleepy. In the early days it's normal that one breast is enough for them - if the other breast is uncomfortably full and she can't drink anymore or is asleep, hand express some milk off, just until your breast feels a little softer. In the early days, babies often take a long time to feed, but as time goes on, they get quicker and quicker. By the time she is 3 mnths old she'll be able to guzzle down a boob in 10 mins flat and want the other one as well. It changes so quickly! You don't need to *make* her stay there for longer than she wants. At 3 weeks, their tummies are very small and they can't take too much, though all love the warm snuggle with mums that comes wrapped up as part of a breastfeed
Warm Regards
Barb
