Breastfeeding

Rotating Breasts and order?

So, I am a complete newbie at the b/f and trying to get a hang of this. They give you SO much info at the hospital, I come home and I am  a bit overwhelmed trying to figure this all out. When I start I consider the 1st breast dinner - then the next dessert. (hospital taught me that one. :-) )

So then when I am done feeding, the breast I end with is the breast I start with for the next feeding.....   Is that right??

  • that is a good way to do it.

    in time you will feel which breast needs to be emptied. you can wear a hair tie on the wrist that you need to feed on next to help you remember

  • I don't switch at feedings.  But if you do offer both breasts - feed the breast you ended with last, first.

  • That's what I would do, otherwise you could end up lopsided.  It's true.  I know someone. Stick out tongue
  • You got it.  That's a cute way to think of it.

    Don't be suprised if after a while DC only wants one side per meal (no dessert.)  My DD has gone thru phases.
