Yaffa, I tell the mothers with whom I work that they should let the baby stay on the first breast as long as s/he is actively feeding, then offer the second breast. If the baby wants it, good enough. If not, mom is to give that breast with the next indication of hunger. (I do tell the moms to expect that the baby may eat more often if s/he follows this pattern.) Particularly if the baby has had a difficult time attaching or has been sleeping for hours, I don't like to interrupt when s/he finally does begin to nurse--"don't mess with success," as they say.
