My baby does prefer one side to the other but i make sure to alwasy start on less preferred side. She will fuss and cry till on preferred. There is a drastic difference in supply and about 2 cup size difference. Ive also noticed her gag sometimes on less preferred. I tried the breast milk today from both sides. One is sweet like watered down condensed milk while the other is salty and bitter. Is this a normal taste to have? Is this why shes never took onto that breast? I have a feeding group ive booked to go to next week and will ask the consultant there just wondering if this has occurred with anyone else. Small background information the less preferred breast was pierced before pregnancy, i am also not large chested so the size difference isn’t noticeable through clothing. Worried about returning to work and when i will be pumping currently and if i can manage a supply with one breast.

When a mother has mastitis — also known as plugged ducts or a breast infection — this makes her milk taste salty.

Maybe see about getting some antibiotics and see if that helps clear up the taste
