this issue is increasingly on my mind lately and info is scarce: what is the
best way to nurse 3 sibs of all diff ages? instincts are telling me so far
that the infant should be assigned its own breast and of course be allowed
unrestricted 24 hr access while the older 2 be eased into taking turns on the other
breast. when and if lopsidedness develops, switch the breasts assigned to
each. i also am thinking (intuiting?) that this will help the older sibs bond with
the new baby more efficiently as opposed to letting the baby have both
breasts 1st, then offering them to the older sibs so they can continue to nurse side
by side like always. any thoughts/experience/insights on this issue would be
greatly appreciatd! the main reason i am sharing my current musings is that in
doing my research i did come across a wonderful article (from mothering, of
course!) that i saved and wish i had more cause to share w/ the moms i work
with! here's to hoping some of my fellow lactnetters have need of this info for
your moms!
