Only feeding on one side & weaning

kellyrank

Currently I am nursing in the am then pumping once at work then nursing when I return home from work then again at bedtime. So a total of 4 times a day. I nursing her during my regular pumping session when I am home. I HATE pumping & want to eliminate it. I am a teacher & it's super inconvenient especially when my students need help during lunch. I am only getting 2-3 ozs in 12-15 minutes anyway. My question is has anyone else had a baby who only ate off one side & did an odd number of feedings a day? I am concerned that I will totally throw my body off if I am feeding off a different side each morning & night as opposed to now when it's the right in the am then pump left then right at home & left at night. Hopefully that all made sense!

Why can't you just switch breasts every time you feed her? Right in the morning, left after work, right before bed, left in the morning, etc...

I bf at home and pump at work too. When I get home i nurse him on the side I got the least from during my last pump session. I hate pumping too because its hard for me to find the time at work but i dont want my supply to drop, I have had a hard time keeping my supply up.

That's what I am planning on doing, but I am wondering if my body will be able to adjust since it will be continually switching feeding times.
