Is it okay for baby to nurse from only one breast per feeding? Or is that bad for my supply? He seems full after emptying one breast.

To help with the engorgement use a hakaa on the side he’s not nursing off of while he eats, it’ll relieve enough of the pressure without causing oversupply and will give you a little freezer stash 🙂

I meant to get one of those! I'm going to order one today

I had to nurse like that because if I didn't I'd get an over supply. Also my kids were always able to get completely full off of one side so they usually wouldn't even want to nurse from the other.

Thanks! The only part that sucks is my other breast gets so engorged by the next feeding 😩 I guess that'll stop when my supply regulates though

Answer

Yeah that’s OK. That’s how I have always nursed my son.

Yes. Just put him on the other breast next time.
