Can I let 1 breast dry up?

Hi all I'm 11months PP and my baby has been exclusively breastfed in this time. He now eats a lot of food and only feeds once in the day and once at night and I've always had a favourite side so wondering would it be OK to just feed from that side? I'm planning on weaning him off at 1 year so it would only be for the next month or so.

You can. Might find you are making a bit less though now and one being out of service may impact. Also expect to still get a bit lopsided size wise.

You absolutely can do this. I too have a favoured side, and happily fed from age 1-2.5 on one side only. It did look a bit weird but not to the extent anyone else could really notice.
