Do you offer one boob or both at each feed?

just curious

I would offer both, but bub would only take one side,

both, my milk supply was never overflowing so i liked to make sure bubby was very full

Both

Now that he's only down to 2 feeds a day, I find it easy to remember which one he needs to start with: right for morning, left for night

Much easier than changing a brooch, bracelet every time bub needs a feed!

One most of the time, DS has nearly always been like that.

during the day (especialy first thing in the morning) i only need to offer one side and she seams to go ok.. at the end of the day though she likes both sides. (especially b4 bed)

During the morning/day 1 boob but by afternoon/ evening she is having 2 boobs.

Always both. Sometimes he'll only take one side though

Same here... I spoke to an LC yesterday who said its perfectly fine to only offer one breast. Since I'm having problems with my left breast she recommended letting it dry up and the other breast will produce enough on its own. So far at night this isn't working as she is draining both sides!
