Transition from EP to EBF

Nursing & Pumping

Hello! FTM with a now 6 week old. My girl didn’t latch at first so I did EP/triple feeding for the first 3 weeks. The last 3 weeks, she has latched on only one side. So…I was EBF on one side (no pumping) and EP on the other side to keep up the supply on “bad boobie.” She takes maybe 1-3 bottles per week. Today, she has started latching to both sides. I need help figuring out how to transition. I am pumping 15-20 ounces a day off of bad boobie and then she has been completely fed and gaining appropriately off of good boobie. My goal is to not have to pump every time I nurse. I am ok with pumping in the morning or at night, and I will obviously pump if she takes a bottle. Today, I nursed her on both sides. However, she is satisfied with one side and doesn’t really want the other.
