Do you offer both breasts when doing a night feed?

Do you offer both breasts when doing a night feed? I tend not to however one boob feels tooooooo full when I don't...maybe I should? x

Yes I do, he doesn't tend to feed for long but it helps stop one from getting too full and I find if he's gotten a bit sleepy swapping breasts wakes him up a bit to feed a bit more but without waking him fully..

No I don't currently because DD falls asleep after one side, however I have been thinking I should so that she might sleep a bit longer between feeds.

I don't, just because last time I did he pulled off the second breast and immediately puked up the entire feed all over me

If he falls asleep, no, if he pulls off or wakes up then yes

One night when he was around a month old I thought "I'm going to hit him up with the Double Boob Effect" (what me and OH call it ). It was then that I got my first six and a half hour stretch. We bedshare and sometimes I get lazy and just offer one at the first feed when he wakes up (usually around 4:30am or 5am) because he seems to nod off but if I stick to it and give the other side too....I get more sleep.

If he falls asleep, no, I just put him back to bed. If he pulls off, yes I'll offer the other boob. Whether I offer one, or both, it doesn't affect his sleep at all.

I don't usually but maybe I should because he doesn't go longer than 2 hours lol xxx
