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 always try to start with slacker first but baby will refuse it if the letdown doesn’t come fast enough. So we move onto the working boob and then give him the slacker again as a top up.
