Which Breast to Start With When Breastfeeding?

Published in Breastfeeding 1 min read

It's entirely up to you! There's no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing which breast to start with when breastfeeding.

Many mothers prefer to alternate breasts at each feeding, ensuring that both breasts are emptied equally. This helps to maintain a good milk supply and prevent engorgement.

Here are some additional factors to consider:

  • Baby's preference: Some babies may naturally prefer one breast over the other.
  • Breast comfort: If one breast feels fuller or more comfortable, you may choose to start with that one.
  • Previous feeding: You can alternate breasts from feeding to feeding or choose to start with the same breast each time.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to find what works best for you and your baby.
