Pumping one side only?

Question

Has anyone ever tried pumping on one side only and feeding baby from the other side only? I want to try to see if that might yield more milk

Answer

I actually do something similar to this.  I have one flat/inverted nipple that my baby has never latched onto well.  I found that for me, it’s easiest to nurse her on the right breast every time.  I exclusively pump the left breast that she doesn’t like to nurse from.  It wasn’t my intent initially, but it has worked for me.

Answer

No, you have to alternate (not HAVE to, but SHOULD). Otherwise the supply will be pretty uneven. Every time you feed, switch which side you pump on and which side you nurse on.

Answer

Without alternating? Nope. Curious as to what the purpose of that would be?
