How to organize breastfeeding - in one feeding to give only one breast or two? On this issue at its website Answer Dr. Eugene Komorowski.
The recommendations on breastfeeding says that in one feeding is necessary to put the baby only one breast. Why is that?
As always is the case, the truth lies somewhere in the middle, between the "only two" and "only one." When established lactation, when a woman has enough milk, in most cases, no need to provide for one feeding 2 breast does not arise - the child simply because it is one eats. Thus to ensure that there is no suggestion to feed from both breasts, one must achieve the main thing - that the milk was enough. If immediate postpartum milk is small, the main impetus for his generation - sore nipples during suckling, and the two nipples - even better. At the same time, the more milk is in the breasts after sucking, the more the signal to stop milk production. If, for example, the child to eat ought to 60 ml of milk, and it is sucked from one breast 50 (more No), then in my view it is not necessary to give him the second breast, that had finished their 10 and left chest almost complete. It is better to reduce the interval between feedings. The result: enough milk - one feeding - one breast. Little milk - and often both breasts.
