I probably should, especially in the morning, but I get up at the last possible moment to allow enough time to nurse on one side, get myself ready, get LO ready, and pack our hundreds of bags in the morning. The only other time I nurse LO on one side only is during his night wakings and I'd rather go right back to sleep than mess with pumping at that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-pump-the-other-side#post-761013 Sat, 04 May 2013 11:58:19 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 761013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I only pumped the other side if I needed milk for later in the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-pump-the-other-side#post-761010 Sat, 04 May 2013 11:52:00 +0000 dolphin 761010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only in the morning if LO STTN and I feel engorged and if I have time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-pump-the-other-side#post-760938 Sat, 04 May 2013 10:42:36 +0000 pl0508 760938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just offer at next feeding!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-pump-the-other-side#post-760916 Sat, 04 May 2013 10:18:01 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 760916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually block feed because of some oversupply issues, but sometimes I'll go ahead and pump the other side right after a feeding if I have time and do some extra stocking up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-pump-the-other-side#post-760869 Sat, 04 May 2013 09:36:34 +0000 oahujeni 760869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feed DS on one side and usually pump the other only after his bedtime feeding. Otherwise I get engorged, then he doesn't empty it fully at the next feeding, then the other side gets engorged, and it ends up turning into a bad cycle where I eventually have to pump both sides in the middle of the night just to get comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-pump-the-other-side#post-760624 Fri, 03 May 2013 22:10:48 +0000 Penny Lane 760624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. But I guess if I were trying to build a stash or up supply I would. We've only ever done one side per feed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-pump-the-other-side#post-760593 Fri, 03 May 2013 21:14:11 +0000 Springtime 760593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did. I would just offer the other side at the next feeding, but I had oversupply issues. I probably would if I was trying to increase supply or if its engorged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-always-pump-the-other-side#post-760476 Fri, 03 May 2013 18:40:44 +0000 autumnlove 760476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO only nurses on one boob during a feeding? </p>
