How do you keep track of which side you nursed last?

I recently stopped tracking feeds on my phone and now I'm struggling with remembering which side baby fed on last. What trick do you use?

A hair tie on the wrist did the trick for me in the beginning when I stopped tracking. Apparently they make little clips for your bra strap that you can move also.

Now half the time I forget to clasp my bra again, so I no the closed side is the one I need to do next! My guy only takes one side a feeding now so I usually can feel a difference in which breast is the one that needs to be nursed

Same as PP - I used a hair tie on my wrist.

I haven't really had a problem remembering. DD only takes one side each feeding. If I do forget I just feel myself up and feed from whichever side feels more full.

Hair tie on the wrist.

For a few weeks I used the hair tie too... then like @Casey78 you can feel which one was the last

My left boob is a big producer, so we usually start there.

I also just do whichever feels more full. If there's no difference, i starting the low producing side to encourage it to make more milk. I think it's working- they're starting to even out at 12 weeks.

Like pretty much everyone else, I feed from whichever side feels fuller. A lot of the time though, she'll take both sides. The exception is bedtime where she'll take one side fully and then just snack on the other side for a minute or two. I tend to give her my higher producer side (righty) at that time in hopes she won't wake up for a motn feeding.

I've had major issues with this. I'm constantly asking DH if he remembers (and he usually does not). The hair tie idea is a good one

I was not able to do this without an app.
