Pumping when away from baby

Am • Wed, Jun 27

If your baby only eats on one side during a

feeding, do you only pump on one side each time? I’ve been double pumping each time, but I’m making way more milk then she eats while she’s away, so I’m wondering if I should pump one side each time and alternate similar to how she eats.
