What to do when baby only likes one boob?😓

Question

i can't get her to latch onto the right, she only likes the left. My right nipple is a little harder to latch onto but im not sure if i should just pump that side or both😪

Answer

Just keep trying! My pediatrician said it was common for babies to have a preference, but if you keep trying they'll learn to feed well from both breasts. My bub has no problem with my left breast, but it takes us 5-10 tries to latch on to my right. I also try and feed her for 1-2 minutes on the side she prefers first so she isn't screaming bloody murder from being so hungry lol. She prefers the football hold when we're trying the right breast, too!

Answer

If baby absolutely won't latch then I'd say pump the other one

Answer

Try multiple positions. Football hold is what we learned with. I use that when he wont latch other ways

Answer

Try multiple positions. Mine had the same problem with the right one. Now, at three weeks, he's fine with both.

Answer

I have to use a nipple shield on my right because baby couldn't latch.

Answer

My chiropractor said if they will feed off one side and not the other it could be because their neck/spine is out of alignment and it's just uncomfortable for them.

Answer

I have the same problem..don't know why tho
