just a little question...

a_wagner

I've been going over my experience with breast feeding with my first and trying to think of ways to make it better so i stick to it this time. My question is how do you know when to switch breasts during feedings? Cause with my first i really had no idea what I was doing and would do one boob at one feeding and one at the next.

@a_wagner I honestly only feed my lo off of one side and did with all my kids and she is 8 months and still only does I always a good supply though. However, I would say after 20 or 25 minutes unlatch and if he/she is still hungry then feed again but its not always necessary to do so.

Yep I only do one boob per feeding too

I would switch when it was time to burp. Then i would pump after she was done to store in freezer. Otherwise 10 min on each side should be ok as a guideline.

Mostly one side per feeding here too. When she's done she pops off I'll switch her. Usually she yells at me lol. Pay attention to wet diapers. I have to check my boob too see if its empty lol.

I did one side per feeding, then the other the next feeding. When he acted like he wasn't done, I'd just switch him to the other.

One side All the time here. Its the breast that is most comfortable for us he gets all he needs (85% hieght and weight). I can but three times more out of my right breast than my left. Lol I wish the left would just dry up already.

I also do only one that's y now I have one boob bigger than the other, but I'm still going 8 months on the 25th. Lol

I do one at a feeding and the other at the next. I was told to do this to make sure she gets enough hind milk, the fatty good stuff. I was told it takes ten minutes to get to it. She is eight months now and has never seen a drop of formula.

Thanks ladies. I just don't wanna do anything to hurt my supply because I'm really hoping to breastfeed for at least 6 months. Which didnt happen with my first
