My son will only nurse from my right breast only sometimes he'll do it from the left . What's some ways to get him to do it from the left ? Cause it's so full omg it hurts 😭

Sounds like you may be engorged on the side he’s rejecting. The letdown and flow may be too strong. Sometimes, babies may feel like they’re choking.
Try putting a warm compress on there first, then expressing some of the milk out manually or with a pump. When it’s not as full, let him latch on.
Hope this helps.

Try the football hold

Try hand expressing or buy a haakaa silicone manual pump. I love mine! I simply squeeze to attach and let go while I feed on the other side. It fills with milk as she eats. I then store it in the fridge after labeling it. It's amazing!

As crazy as it sounds my daughter started to do this at 6 months and I couldn't figure out why. My husband tasted my milk from both sides and said my right was bitter and left was sweet lol

@morganmommy79, I wish that thing existed when I had my son. Where did you buy yours?

@lulu85_18, I bought mine on an amazon club. It was less than $2 but wish has them too for about $2 also
