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.

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

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.

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.

No. I only pumped the other side if I needed milk for later in the day.

Nope. 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.
