  • Yes pump on the one not being nursed from during a feeding and even after as much as possible.
  • Yup pump or try different latching positions
  • I had the same problem my baby was born Monday. I just let him feed first from the one he preferred and then kept trying with the other one. I just didnt want him screaming. At first he would only use the one boob but just last night after soooo many attempts he is using both during each feeding and tgats him wanting it not me forcing it. I just let it work its way out. I'm not sure how old your baby is, but I agree with the other ladies if you can't get him to you will need to pump from it . I've heard if you don't you can end up with two different sized breasts. Not sure if thats true, but scarred me lol.
  • Keep trying!
  • you can end up with 2 different size boobs my friend had one boob size d the other was almost completly flat!
  • My boobs are different sizes. it sucks lol
    But my baby prefered right over left too I just made more on my right

  • Shes only 4 days old so will def keep trying and will pump the left if doesn't feed on it. Thanks ladies xx
  • Keep trying Momma! Mine wouldnt nurse from my right at first, but I figured out that he likes the football hold for that boob, and he likes the cross carry for my left..and those are the only positions that he will nurse with.
