One boob or two boobs?

Question

When did you start offering both boobs during nursing or have you always done both? 
I’ve been just doing one and alternating each feeding. Babe seems to get plenty, but I’m wondering if I should start doing both sides during a feeding. Maybe I’m just second guessing myself

Answer

I always offer both. I aim to have my daughter nurse at least for 15 on the first side and then however long she wants to in the other. 
If the second side is shorter than 10 mins I start with that side next feeding.

Answer

If your baby seems unhappy after one boob, offer them the second one too! I was told one boob is like dinner and the other is like dessert. You ALWAYS need dinner but SOMETIMES you want dessert too. Or always dessert 😁 It depends on your baby and how much they want/need.

Answer

I’ve always just done one per feeding for both of my kids. Unless they acted still hungry and then I gave them the other. But that was rare.

Answer

I do about 7-10mins each side

Answer

My babe has always seemed content after one side, but I still offer the other. Sometimes it only lasts 3 minutes, sometimes he'll stay on for another 20. It's better to always offer the second

Answer

Boobie buffet!! (both) lol

Answer

I alternate breasts each feeding

Answer

I always offered the second, but there was a month or two that she only wanted one. Now she insists on both almost all the time.

Answer

I always did about 15 min on each side
