I currently pump two days a week while I'm at work. Should I pump both sides each time, even though LO rarely nurses both sides in one session?

Might as well, unless you're concerned about developing an oversupply! Baby is more efficient than the pump anyway.

Yeah I would. I always pumped both sides. You can always freeze the extra milk and build a stash.

I would. I've heard you get better output if you pump both sides at the same time!

Yup. I always pumped both sides even though LO only nursed on one side at a time.

Yes. My LO only nurses on one side but when I pump at work I pump both sides.
