I believe it was Dr. Jack Newman who said that if the baby was sufficiently
draining the milk sinuses (including with breast compression) that there
shouldn't be any reason why a single nursing session should take more than
10 minutes from a nutritional perspective.   If baby was truly needing
extended nursing sessions all the time to meet the nutritional component,
then the mom should probably be taught breast compression.  I'm paraphrasing
based on a LN post from oh maybe 3 years ago, but you get the point.
