BF question
Does your little one prefer one side? How do you get them to take the other side? Do you, or just pump that side?
Thea, absolutely HATES the right side. She fights it so much. I'm not actually sure why...

I don’t know how you hold her but try holding her so that her body still faces the same direction as it does when she feeds on the left side.

My son. It was harder to get him to latch on my left, my nip is slightly inverted. I used a shield for a while and hated it. Extra washing and always had to make sure I had it. I found he’d latch with the football hold. So on the right side he’d nurse cross cradle and on the left football. Later I heard that it can be easier for baby because they’re eating with their head in the same direction.

for real... was not expecting the level of difficulty that it actually comes with!

@bigsisfinallymommy, on the upside you’re getting to a point where it’ll will become easier. It’s so convenient to breastfeed over formula. You always have your boobs with you. Just whip em out. 😆

offer the other side first when they are hungriest.

I would try different positions when feeding her on the right
