Both breasts or one?

Hi ladies! Do you guys feed your baby with both breasts or just one breast per feeding? I want to try one breast and pumping the other as my baby seems satisfied with just one and worried about him grtting hiindmilk. What do you do ?

I do one per feeding

My first almost always did both breasts, but this baby will only nurse on one side when does latch. If your baby has been satisfied with just one breast per feeding, I think you'd be fine.

At night, I only do one. During the day it varies but mostly one too.

I mostly just did one per feed with both of my kids, occasionally both sides if they were particularly hungry or still fussy after a feed, but not often

Always offer the second, if they don’t take it, that’s fine. I used to just offer one and he actually dropped a few percentiles. Offered both and he went back to his starting point (this won’t apply to everyone, some babies are the ‘one boon and done’ type). Hindmilk is pretty much misunderstood btw, read this: https://www.instagram.com/p/DF8awFCNp4T/?igsh=M3Y4Z3o4d3phbzc3
