To those who are breastfeeding..

M

My daughter is 5 days old, I was wondering if I should be feeding on both sides per feeding, or is one side enough? I’ve been letting her nurse on one side for as long as she wants, then I’ll burp her and give her a few minutes to digest, then offer the other side and usually she only nurses on that side for 10 minutes then falls asleep or doesn’t work for it so I figure she’s full...then I pump after her feeding. I prefer at least offering both sides cause I want to stimulate both breasts to make more, and I know the baby’s sucking is more effective then the pump. Do y’all offer both breasts? Or did you wait till baby got a little older to do that..
