breast feeding - one breast per feeding

anyone do this?

if i alternate for each feeding, do i have to pump in between? or will my supply be ok?

i usually emptied both out during the same feeding. and if i didn't, it would bother me.

Re: breast feeding - one breast per feeding

I did with one kid: pumped one breast & saved.
Fed with other.
If I left one, I'd be lopsided

I alternated each time but alternated which boob I started with. So whichever boob was last got to be first. Because the baby always drained the first boob fully.

My second typically takes one side per feeding. I did pump both sides bc she was a preemie and the lc wanted my supply way up but I only did for the first month and even then I quickly was weaning down bc I didn't want an oversupply.

Everything is supply and demand so if she's satisfied after one side and is gaining weight well then your supply is fine. Baby may change things up and want both sides eventually which is fine too.

Yup I do! I did it with my first because of foremilk hindmilk imbalance. Then just did it with my second automatically. A lot of LCs recommend it actually!
