Can someone please advise me on which way is best to breastfeed some people tell me to use both per feed and midwife and hv say one Breast per feed. I had this with my son and ended up giving up but I really want to breastfeed Skylar. Last night she just didn’t seem content, I know this happens but really got upset that I’m failing. My other half is brilliant and really encouraging he helps me get comfortable and in position. Thank you ladies
I had tuns of milk, so I only offered one at a time. I was feeding on demand, so sometimes she would have a little suck, then do something for 15 minutes and demand again, then I still offered the first one, so that she would finish it.
I think it just depends on how much milk you feel you are producing and how often the baby eats. If you fed from one for 20 minutes and she seems hungry when she lets go of the breast,I would offer the other one. Good luck! Breastfeeding is tough, but it's worth it!
@suzannehornsey that's understandable, both my babies had fed different though so don't think your first experience will be the only type you'll have with breastfeeding! 😊
@beffgoude, thanks hun just get myself upset because I struggled with my son xx
Hi with Dahlia I always feed off one and if she unlatches from the first breast then I offer the other breast. Upto her really if she wants it or not, beauty of breastfeeding is the baby just takes what they need.
Stick with it, sounds like your doing great to me!
@kate_smith, thank you hun xx
