she seems to b content after one breast ? If she isn't and I offer the 2nd she either gags or drinks from it but last night she was sick quite a bit ? Is she just greedy? Or full? Hope she not got a bug :(

If she seems content after just one side, then that is absolutely fine. I would always offer the second side, but don't fret at all if she doesn't want any more. For what it's worth, my 7 month old DS rarely takes from both sides, apart from the last feed before bed!

My DD didn't start t feed from both breasts at one go until she was 1!

My baby has always taken from one breast per feed. She's 7 months and 89th cantilever so is fine!

Centile not cantilever Confused

Same here, DD has only ever fed from one side at a time and the couple of times I gave her the second breast she projectile vomitted!

Yup. We're a one side per feed as well and it works for us Smile

Another one-sider (with a baby flying up the centiles!)

needsadviceplease · 17/08/2012 20:38

Oh - and also a total happy spitter, god knows what he'd be like if he had a second side! Grin

Another one sider while ds was small though now at five months (still small I know) he takes both sides more often. Congratulations on your new baby!

My DD has never (so far) taken both breasts. She is a guzzler and generally does average of 15 minutes max then shes full. She's only 12 weeks but weight gain is bang on and she won't take it if not hungry. Much to my offence once if her popping off the boob to stick her thumb in her mouth instead!!
