Not really. Just remember that if you feel heaviness in the other breast after baby has drunk from one, just pump out the milk. Do this once in a dah will be enough. Breastfeeding from both side is appreciated so that no residue milk is left and the mother does not have to face milk lumps in the breast. It doesn’t mean you disturb the sleeping baby. In this case you need to alternate the baby from right to left breast so that you stay safe from the lumps developing in your breast
Hello, According to both modern pediatric advice and Ayurvedic principles, you do not necessarily have to feed from both breasts at every session. The Fore-milk and Hind-milk Balance It is actually better to let the baby finish one breast before switching. Fore-milk: This is the thinner, watery milk at the start of a feed that quenches thirst. Hind-milk: This is the creamier, high-fat milk that comes toward the end. It is calorie-dense and helps with weight gain and satiety. If you switch too quickly just to “use both sides,” the baby may fill up on fore-milk and miss the richer hind-milk, which can lead to the baby feeling hungry again sooner or having green, frothy stools. If your baby falls asleep and is satisfied after one breast, simply start with the other breast at the next feeding. In Ayurveda, breast milk is called Stanya, an Upadhatu (sub-tissue) of Rasa Dhatu (plasma). Ayurveda emphasizes the quality of the milk over the quantity or the specific breast used. Satiety (Tripti): The goal of a feeding is the contentment and sound sleep of the “Ksheerada” (milk-fed infant). If the baby sleeps peacefully, the Doshas are considered balanced. Digestion: Feeding when the baby is sleepy or forced feeding can lead to Agnimandya (weak digestion) for the infant. To ensure the quality of milk is light (Laghu) and easy for the baby to digest, the mother can take internal supplements. Prescription: Take 1 pill twice daily after food. You can crush the pill and take it with a little warm water or cumin water. This helps in improving the mother’s digestion and prevents gas or colic in the baby.
