One side or two?

Do you nurse on both sides or just one each feeding?

Caeden is 4 months old (and almost 14 pounds) and we have been nursing both sides for about 6 weeks now. He seems to need it and isn't satisfied with only one. I will often put him back on the first one once he finishes the second - hoping he gets all that good hindmilk to help him sleep!

Just wondering if this was normal for this age and size.......?

I think it varies from baby to baby.  I started double side feeding from about 2 months on (after we worked out an excess of foremilk problem :? ), and we've stuck with it ever since.  What you're doing sounds good to me!  :D
