Is there a reason ds keeps swapping sides so much?

Ds is usually quite happy to have one side at a time when he feeds. He is 11 mo and still has 4 or 5 feeds a day. Just lately, especially when I'm feeding him in bed (he has easy access I guess ) he will take a few seconds on one breast, then change his mind and try the other one, and keeps going back and forth. He's been doing this in the mornings for a few weeks but is now trying to do it at every feed. I wonder if he is getting all the foremilk from one side, then having the more fattening stuff, and switchng sides to get more of the foremilk?? I don't know. Is he just playing or is there a reason for him to be doing this?

probably just playing - mine both did this...
he may be thirsty too - the foremilk is more watery.
it does get a bit annoying though, doesn't it?
