I'm wondering what everyone thinks about this advice - offer both breasts at each feeding? I think this may be outdated information knowing what we know about hindmilk now. 
 
But I frequently encounter women given this advice. Am I wrong? I just tell them to put the baby on their breast and let it nurse as long as it wants to. When he comes off on his own, burp him and if he's done it's fine. If the baby seems to want more, put him on the other side. Opinions?
 
Thank you,
