Both during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742738 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:21:43 +0000 purrpletulips 742738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>always both </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742731 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:20:31 +0000 MsMini 742731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I had over supply I only nursed 1 side, except during growth spurts. After my supply dropped off, we switched to both sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742715 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:17:29 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 742715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I had oversupply in the beginning (although I think I've regulated by now), so we got into a one-side routine. He's usually still fine with just one side. Sometimes if he's really fussy I'll offer the 2nd side. Sometimes I end up doing both because he likes the right better than the left and I want to make sure the left gets it's fair share of time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742630 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:07:03 +0000 yellowbird 742630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one side here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742622 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:04:56 +0000 MsLipGloss 742622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep - my left side is an underproducer, so I always start on the left, and then offer the right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742617 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 14:04:23 +0000 DillonLion 742617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always offer both, since I have supply issues and want to make sure each breast is getting good stimulation throughout the day. She usually has a good long feeding from one side, and then a shorter on the other. I try to make sure and offer the opposite order at each feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742580 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:57:51 +0000 Smurfette 742580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have just done one but starting to do both now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742386 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:30:14 +0000 Adira 742386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He always takes both sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742369 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:26:41 +0000 Koolbreeze 742369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally only before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742349 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:23:08 +0000 rawrasaur 742349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one, except for some bedtime feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742339 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:20:46 +0000 hilsy85 742339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup always both sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742293 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:11:57 +0000 MamaMoose 742293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ususally just one. But on work days she'll often take both sides before bed since I've pumped all day my boobs are little more empty than usual. On the weekends when we're together all day she only ever takes from one side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742285 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:10:57 +0000 dagret 742285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one - also Club Oversupply member here. And when I *do* try to give him both sides, he eats till he is overly full and spits up everywhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-nurse-both-sides#post-742284 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:10:41 +0000 rattles 742284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always offer both sides, but she usually only takes both at her first and last feedings of the day.
