I had over-supply and forceful letdownon on my left side, the right is pretty "normal" as far as I know (first timer). Baby also was suffering reflux so I started bock feeding in hopes that it would settle everything down. It seems to have worked. I only have spray action once in awhile, and my baby's reflux seems to be better. So I have kind of went back to more regular feedings.<br><br>
When block feeding, I used to feed soley from one side for about 3-4 feedings worth (about 3 hours), and then switch it off. I am almost 11 weeks PP, so I (think??) that my milk has regulated itself (am I correct to think that?). I no longer feel overfull, or leak as much. I read it's normal for Mom's to worry about their supply when this happen and I can't say I havne't worried since all I have ever known is lots of milk <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile"><br><br>
My question is how should I go about returning to normal feedings? Let him feed on one side for 10-15 minutes, burp, then switch sides? One side still produces much more than the other, but I don't seem to be having any of the negative issues I had previously. any suggestions to go by?

i would not watch the clock.. and there is no reason you need to feed on both sides at every feeding.. i would start by just switching back and forth at each feeding - and allow baby to nurse as long as he wants on one side and then offer the other side after he pops off or stops actively sucking..

For both of mine, after blockfeeding (2-3 feedings per side) through the early weeks, one side per feeding (& one feeding per side) was their "normal". DD (11 weeks now) makes it known if she is still hungry and wants the other side, but that only happens once every several days.
