My son is breastfed and when I feed him he seems to favor my left breast and don't drink from the other. When I first started to breastfeed he would drink from both and now when I try feeding him from the right he'll just cry continuously until I feed him from the left. My nipple is already starting to feel sore since he only feeds from the left. Is there any way I can get him to feed from the right again ?😕

Have you tried the football hold position? my baby loves my right so i am usually using the football position for my left and he does great

I haven't tried any other positions. When I feed him from my right he'll drink and than choke on the milk and makes this face as if he don't like the taste.

The flow on your side that he takes is probably a quicker flow. The football position is a good one. You just have to let him sqirm, he'll eventually latch and realize it's this or nothin. lol They usually pick the boob! :)

I usually spend about 5-10 mins trying to get him to latch on and drink but he'll just keep crying until he gives me no choice but to feed him on the left😔
