Breastfeeding newborn Ok I have a question about breastfeeding... Hopefully someone can answer…

Following

When my dd was little I basically nursed on demand. Meaning I didn't follow a schedule bc honestly you have no idea how much they're getting when you nurse. Your LO will usually give clues that they're hungry and as long she was eating and not just sucking for comfort I would let her eat. Once they stop actually you can offer the other side. They may stop bc they're full, but also bc you've stopped letting down on that side. The next time you nurse you'll want to start on the side you finished on. That way you'll keep things ever and not get too full and uneven. Hope that helps a little. It's honestly just a learning experience for both of you! ?

Pinterest has s lot of useful info I found!!! ?

Just took a breastfeeding class this morning and yes you should switch sides with each feeding. Don't give pacifier or bottle for first few weeks so there is no nipple confusion and for best results. And most hospitals have a breastfeeding consultant that comes to see all new mom's so write down all your questions. And ask for skin to skin to breastfeed right away.

You alternate which side you start on each time and if the baby feeds on one side and still seems hungry you put her on the other side in the same sitting. The next feeding though you still start with the second breast. To make your supply increase if the baby is only feeding on one side at a time you can pump the other side and your body will produce more since you are demanding more.

Let baby finish all the milk they can get before you switch sides. The first milk that comes out during a feeding is watery and thin, more like a drink. After baby takes the "drink milk" there's the "hind milk" which is thick and fatty and more of a food milk. If you let baby nurse when baby is hungry, you should be fine. Look into la leche league groups in your area! Good luck! :)

Great! Thanks ladies for the advice!
