...about which side I last fed from, how long between feeds, supply etc etc

Still feed fairly irregularly on demand. Sometimes goes a few hours, sometimes has a little top up after an hour or so. Not always good at remembering which side last and she also sometimes has preference for one side overage other (teething related I think). Never end up engorged. Worry slightly my supply is dwindling, or is it just settled to what she needs. Does it matter anymore?

Don't think your supply would be dwindling, just probably more in tune with your baby's needs. Nothing you mention would suggest a dwindling supply.

Don't think it matters always which side you fed from last, can remember sometime jiggling mine to see which one felt heavier...BlushSmile

Don't worry about sides (though don't do what I did and get lazy and only feed from one side or you'll get lopsided!)

And yes you're body will be pretty much making it on demand so no need to worry about lack of engorgement.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping! And Julie....I've done that too! Will carry on as we are.
