63 | Do I need to nurse on both sides at every feeding session?
Should I Nurse on Both Sides Every Feed?
In this episode of the Breastfeeding With Confidence Podcast, host Jaimie Zaki, IBCLC and mom of five, dives into one of the most common breastfeeding questions: Do I need to nurse on both sides every time my baby feeds?
Many new moms worry about whether their baby is getting enough milk, how long to nurse on each side, and if skipping a breast could affect milk supply. Jaimie explains how breast milk works, what foremilk and hindmilk really mean, and why there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer.
You’ll learn:
✅ The difference between feeding from one side vs. both sides
✅ How to recognize when your baby is satisfied after one breast
✅ When offering both sides is helpful for milk supply and baby’s intake
✅ What “block feeding” means and when it’s used
✅ Red flags to watch for if your baby always prefers just one breast
Breastfeeding is about finding the rhythm that works for you and your baby, not following strict rules. By understanding how milk production works, you can confidently decide what’s best for each feed.
If you’ve ever asked yourself “Should I nurse on both sides every feed?”—this episode gives you the clear, evidence-based answers you need.
