Breastfeeding

Mommies, when you give your baby to latch one 1 side of your breast, do you pump the milk from the other side? As previously I was exclusive pumping, hence I hope my upcoming baby I could like to let my baby to latch instead.

Your baby may need to feed from both sides to feel full enough, especially during growth spurts. Sometimes, even both sides is not enough. However, when you feed from one side, the other side can start leaking or even spurting. I use a special collection cup to collect milk from the other side while latching to one side, then feed the baby the collected milk via a syringe, followed by latching onto the other side, so there's less wasted milk :)
