Very good article

Wanted to share this article about breastfeeding.  I've been doing lots and lots of research lately and this explains so many things rather well that I wanted to share.  It talks about finishing the first breast first and why it's important.

Fantastic article. I'm reposting!
I read this as I nursed...both sides.

[earthymama42]

Ha! I nurse both sides most of the time. However Abigail does pop off and I'll try to relatch her to the same side a few times before we switch. If I nurse off of just one side for too long it lowers my supply pretty quickly. It's very interesting that instinctly she knows what to do to keep my supply decent. =)

Yeah, Luke will not want one side but he'll go for the other. I had no idea why, but I trusted his judgment.

I just remembered when I was reading your response that Beth will pop off and won't relatch until I switch sides.

very, very, very interesting! I'm glad I read it :-)
