hey there mommas, is it normal for your baby to start eating only from one side at each nursing session? my daughter is…

have you checked the suction or the size of the funnel thing. sometimes if it's too big or too small it won't stimulate your milk. also don't turn up the suction to max until you start to leak. i have to leave it on low for a few minutes before i get a let down then i turn it up. keep the speed low too until let down. if that doesn't help lactation consultants can also help with pumping. it took me a while to learn how to do it as well.

@verobaby, no matter how much I try I can't get anything to come out when I pump. even when my milk came in and my Boobs were huge and sore I couldn't get anything out in a pump.

if you pump take that opportunity to pump the side she didn't eat from. when my son started doing that at night i pumped & stored.

that's what I figured but being a first time mommy I wanted to make sure she's getting enough to eat. at night she'll nurse from both sides but not during the day

sure. they can do that at anytime. she may start nursing from both off she hits a growth spurt.
