Favorite boob?

Question

Does your breastfeeding baby prefer one boob over the other? My newborn isn't even 48 hours old and she hates starting on my right (smaller) boob and sometimes won't even switch over at all. I know right now I'm only making less than an ounce at a time but should I pump that side when she refuses to eat from it or just keep trying to start on that side?
This isn't my first but I never had this issue with her siblings.

Answer

You have milk at 48 hours after birth?! Wow!  That crazy!
Try doing a football hold on the side she won't latch on-she will still be lying on her favored side and won't be on the other side to nurse the other breast.
If she favors the right breast then football hold her to the left breast and vice versa. If you don't know what football hold is you can google it to get pictures as examples.

Answer

Hello! I had this issue with my newborn who is now a week old. I just had to keep persisting i.e. Always offer that boob first, and also used the exaggerated latch technique and kept trying ALL the different positions. Once my milk came in it was a bit easier as she doesn't have to work so hard. 
I would express some of it off if you still having trouble in a few days x

Answer

My 7 week old was like that.  Absolutely refused my left side. I did pump every feeding just to show my body I needed some milk in that side too. I dont produce much,  even now but my daughter has started latching on both sides when she was shot 3-4 weeks. I just kept offering and trying every feeding with her.  Even if I could get her to latch for a minute.  For me I think it's because my nipples are different but i think she's learned to adjust
