Mist: Yah, it's normal to leak on the other breast when bb is feeding. What I do is to use the pump on the other side for just a while. This will stop the leaking. Then offer the other breast to him when he finished the first, and if still not enuf, feed him the EBM.
If I'm lazy/tired to feed him both breasts (esp the late night feeds), then I'll pump all the way while he's on the first breast. And when he finishes the first breast, pass him over to the CL/maid for them to feed him the EBM.
I rotate which breast he feeds on first, just so both sides get the same stimulation from bb and pump (cos scared they become unequal size otherwise.) And I find pumping is less painful than latching on. Ayden was a barracuda, literally cos he leaves blood stains!
