As they get older

[Arcanegirl]

Is it normal for the demand to go from feeding off just one side to wanting both sides?

 

[lillysmum]

yes definitely! Lucas now takes both sides each feed.

 

[Mervs Mum]

Yes - his tummy is getting bigger

 

[Arcanegirl]

Say i fed from the left boob, then the right boob. Which side do i feed from next time?

 

[Mervs Mum]

How long was he on the 2nd side?

 

[Arcanegirl]

just as long as the first

during teh day the second side is shorter, in the evening both sides is just as long.

 

[Always&4ever]

Yup its normal, Jasmine was like that until she was 6months old

 

[Mervs Mum]

How long in minutes? And roughly how long before he usually wants feeding again at this point in the evening?

 

[Arcanegirl]

I stopped timing feeds weeks ago

In the evening when he has the big feed thats him for the night, he sleeps for 7/8 hours.

 

[Mervs Mum]

I just meant roughly. If he's been on for what you'd class as a good feed on both sides the start back on #1

 

[Brockie]

yep Fred always has both sides now unless he falls asleep xx

 

[Clairylou]

i was wondering that myself Sam has started wanting both sides the past couple of days.
