Breastfeeding on one side

My baby went through a phase of the same thing, but she eventually started taking the other side too. I don’t pump often but I did and noticed way less on that side, so i’m not sure if it was bc she didn’t nurse that side or if she didn’t nurse that side bc not much milk comes from that side

So I’ll just keep offering it to her hopefully she takes to it. I pump that side more since she doesn’t breastfeed on it.

thats what I did! My partner was always like “ just give her the other boob!!” bc she would be crying but I was always like no she needs to take it eventually!! So just keep trying hopefully she will take it:)

She’s very stubborn about laying on that side of her head so I think it has something to do with that but it’s been a pain! If she took both I’d EBF but I get worried she’s starving

awee yes i read somewhere some babies don’t like laying with their head on one side

Have you tried the football hold on the other side so she's laying the same way kinda? I had to do that on one side when were still in the hospital but now I can hold him however on both

no I haven’t! She will nurse sometimes laying down but she gets weird about positioning too 😫

Was the football hold something you tried so your baby is laying the same as for the boob she does take?

Nevermind I just read all the comments. My baby had a side preference and it was due to her muscles in the neck being tight on that one side. We did baby chiropractor appointments 3 weeks in a row and our lactation consultant can tell a big difference. And I find that when she is asleep that turning her head to the non preferred side is easiest to make her like that side aswell.

Sometimes it is a good idea to take them to a baby chiropractor in case it’s something muscular in their neck or head from only wanting to be in one side , they’ll give you some exercises to do and stretches that will help
