I offer both sides, but she doesn't always nurse from both. During my maternity leave, I almost always pumped the side she didn't nurse to help build my freezer supply.
in the beginning (first month or two), i'd wake him up and try to get him to eat both sides. but now it's one side, usually. if he's still awake, and seems hungry after one side, i'll offer the other.
I used to just nurse on one side. At her four month checkup the pedi noticed that her she had dropped from the 90th/75th percentile in height/weight to the 50th percentile in each so she advised me to feed on both. DD will now feed for like 15-20 mins. on each side!
I do one side until she falls asleep or pulls off, then burp her and change her if she needs it, then try to get her to take the other. ?Sometimes she does, sometimes not. ?I don't stress it.?

Just one, unless he empties it then I offer the second but he usually on nurses for a minute on the second side.

Up until a month ago or so, both sides. Now just one usually.
