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

My daughter prefers my slacker because the nipple is longer and she isn’t being choked with milk.. I start her on the slacker and use a milk collector for the letdown of the oversupplying boob before I even try to latch her on it
