suddenly feeding from both sides

dd4 is 7mths old, and for the past few days has suddenly started feeding from both sides, she feeds for about 5 minutes starts fussing, arches her back but if i change her to the other side she will happily feed.

She used to be satisfied feeding from one side at each feed, she used to arch her back if i offered her the other breast.

That's fine - it might be that she just wants more milk each time. Nothing to worry about

Thank you, I was starting to worry about milk supply.

Don't worry - after about 6 months it's very very uncommon to have supply problems. You never know, maybe she's getting ready to sleep through the night

I dream of her sleeping through we have had a few night where dd has gone from 8pm to 5am, it was lovely.
