I was doing the opposite when I had an oversupply and realized that it didn't make sense to offer more in the middle of the night. Duh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-offer-lo-both-breast-at-one-feeding#post-169381 Fri, 25 May 2012 14:46:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 169381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She takes both for 25 minutes each. I think she is a ridiculously slow nurser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-offer-lo-both-breast-at-one-feeding#post-169343 Fri, 25 May 2012 14:21:14 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 169343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just one side </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-offer-lo-both-breast-at-one-feeding#post-169277 Fri, 25 May 2012 13:11:14 +0000 Nskillet 169277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both, how do you know your supply is low? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-offer-lo-both-breast-at-one-feeding#post-169269 Fri, 25 May 2012 13:01:06 +0000 skibobrown 169269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always offer both, but I have very low milk supply, so even after having DD empty both breasts I still have so supplement w/ formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-offer-lo-both-breast-at-one-feeding#post-169169 Fri, 25 May 2012 10:59:06 +0000 runsyellowlites 169169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was offering both the first week but almost immediately had oversupply issues so I starting block feeding when DD was just 2 weeks. Now that she's starting to stretch out her feedings I'm able to switch breasts each time instead of every few feedings like I had been.

LO is 5 weeks old and eats for about 10-15 minutes. She used to take much longer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-offer-lo-both-breast-at-one-feeding#post-169143 Fri, 25 May 2012 10:34:11 +0000 sandy 169143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I offered both early on and stopped I think around 2 months bc I had oversupply and did blocked feedings which helped. Ever since then I just offer one side but a few times when it seemed like she was extra hungry I offered both and sometimes she'd take more but most times she didn't </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-offer-lo-both-breast-at-one-feeding#post-169123 Fri, 25 May 2012 10:25:13 +0000 Weagle 169123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually just offer one. She typically pulls off when she's done, and I know there's still some left in there. LO is 2.5 weeks old now and she usually eats anywhere from 8-12 minutes, which friends say is quick for a newborn... but I don't have any other children to compare her to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-offer-lo-both-breast-at-one-feeding#post-169080 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:59:38 +0000 chopsuey 169080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I offer both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-offer-lo-both-breast-at-one-feeding#post-169048 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:46:28 +0000 Springtime 169048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only offer one breast at each feeding because I have an oversupply of milk and one is plenty for him, and want to make sure he is getting the hindmilk. I'm curious do you offer one or both and how long does LO usually eat for? </p>
