A. you can divide the time half half to both the breast according to which the baby takes the feeding . not to be very specific for feeding. just see to eat that you feel your baby by both the breasts

A. You should always feed from one side only if the child is hungry then you go to feeding from the second breast otherwise it’s always advisable to feed from one breast and second feeding should be done from the second breast
