For those that feed one side at a time

Newborn Troubleshooting

Hi All,

My 6 week old baby typically fills up on one side and is done until the next feed except sometimes during the day when really hungry. He started to space out overnight feeding to about 3 hours so each breast is going roughly 6 hours between emptying once per day. I wake up with firmness but no pain and this resolves once he feeds. During the day he eats much more frequently, sometimes every hour or more. Weight gain has been great, LC visit had great milk transfer at 2 weeks so no concern of him transferring.

Just trying to do what is best for supply! I do not pump except to give a bottle about 3x per week and I just freshly pump and dad gives the bottle so it replaces a feed. Do I just let my body adjust to the new timing? Will it change my supply?
