Hi... My LO latches 20min on one side and fell asleep. Hence I need to pump the other side. I was wondering should I let him latch 10mins on one side each or let him latch on one side only and pump the other 1 out. TIA!

It’s best for baby to latch on for at least 15 minutes on one side to ensure both the foremilk (more watery, quenches thirst) and hindmilk (thicker, more fatty and nutritious) go into baby’s tummy. By pumping out the other side, you ensure that when you feed that batch of milk to baby later on, all the nutrients will also be adequate for that feed:)
