I have to disagreed, respectfully, with Beverley Walker's 13 Oct post.  My
personal experience was what convinces me that "one side at a feed" CAN be
the right pattern for some mother-baby pairs.  My two kids, born 1968 and
1978 (before the Fisher and Woolriudge articles were published!), both began
doing a lot of spitting up around 2-3 months of age.  I was faithfully
nursing on both breasts at each feed, because that was what we were told to
do in those days---if we were lucky enough to be told anything!  On my own, I
figured out that if we fed on one breast at a session, both baby and I were
more comfortable, and they still gained just fine.  In fact, sometimes I'd
let the baby snack on the right any time he wanted to nurse during a 2-3 hour
period, then snack on the left any time he wanted in the next 2-3 hours.  I
remember a friend visiting us, who had nursed her kids in the 50s and 60s,
and she commented during dinner--"Don't you ever switch sides---he's been on
the left all through dinner!" and I replied, "Well, I'm right-handed, so this
makes it easier to eat.  And I'm saving the right side for bedtime."
