I like to tell the mothers to keep the baby on the first side until the baby
is no longer drinking. Of course, they have to know how to know the baby is
getting milk (open, pause, close type of sucking). Once the baby no longer
drinks on his own, I ask the mother to compress the breast (see Breast
Compression in website below), until the baby no longer drinks. Don't have
to worry about draining etc.
