Is it best to feed on both breasts or one at a time?

Question

When breastfeeding, is it best to offer both breasts or one breast per session? 
I know the hindmilk is good for baby and right now I need my baby to gain back the weight she has lost in the first two weeks (she is now 11 days old!!) 
I have been just nursing with one breast per session but I have noticed my right boob produces 1 oz when I pump and my left only gets .5 oz!! So I didn’t know if there is something different I should try, or if it is just a preference thing?

Answer

So I always started with one boob and then offered the other boob in the same nursing session. If she didn’t want the 2nd boob then ok. I offered that boob first during the next nursing session

Answer

I’ve always done I feeding on one breast, then the next feeding on the other.

Answer

I always offer her the second one when she lets go of the first one, but she never wants it, so I just alternate breasts between feedings.

Answer

I’ve done both each feeding.

Answer

Equal time in one feeding session on both breast alternating which one you start with per session

Answer

My babygirl has only ate off one at a time she gets roughly 3.5 oz each time she eats.

Answer

You could always feed off one breast then use a manual pump on the other to empty it, or you could get a Haaka and use that on the breast they are not feeding on.
