It’s not 20 mins on one breast and 20 mins on the other breast. Because this can differ from baby to baby and also based on the amount of milk present in the breast. Instead, look into the suckling pattern of the baby.
When the latch is deep, you can see jaw dropping suckling with a rhythmic suckling pattern - equal time of suckling and rest phase in alteration. When the baby starts to suckle lesser but break longer or if the baby fusses at breast pulling the ni**le, then the baby probably has drained the breast. This is when you switch if baby demands more.
