Hi..., my baby is 2 month 2 days old, breastfeeding. I have doubt in breastfeeding both sides. In a single feed I breastfeed one side, so one side becomes empty and other side ll be like semi full. In the next feed I breastfeed other side. My doubt is, in a singe feed can i give both the sides so that i get adequate milk supply to both breasts or is it like finish one side and then offer other side...?

A. good evening it is very important to make sure that in each breast feeding session you are giving equal quantity to the child I will recommend you to try to feed the baby equally from both sides
