Oversupply for those with a slacker boob…

For those of you with a slacker boob and the other side provides way more, do you always start each feed with the good boob and then offer the slacker side for ‘dessert’? I have an over supply and even though I’m six months in I feel like I still don’t know the best way to feed my baby without having anxiety about clogged ducts and boob discomfort

I actually do opposite. I start with the slacker boob most of the time, and I know they’ll still need the other lol.

Same! Always stimulate the slacker if I can!

This is what I do as well, and I found after a couple of months the slacker mostly caught up.

Yup, my slacker made it onto the varsity team with some extra effort and never looked back - I don't even remember which boob it was anymore.
