A member asked:
Is it mandatory to alternate the breast for the baby at each time to maintain good milk supply?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not mandatory but a very good way to do it. Each breast only makes milk based on how much has been used and so if you preferentially use only one side then that breast makes more milk and is larger than the other side.
