Is it common for a baby to favor a certain breast?
The last 2 feedings DS ate only from the right breast. The left was bein really uncooperative LOL. He was tryingt o latch but i feel like my boob was so soft and wouldnt help him out. And the weird thing is, its not even engorged or having the feeling of needing tobe emptied.
Thoughts on this?

Re: Is it common for a baby to favor a certain breast?
Same here...I have a fabulous right boob that could feed a small country and a not so fabulous left. Sometimes it's "cooperative" and other times I don't even bother.
With DD#1 I actually stopped BFing from the left and just BF'd her from the right. I'm about to do the same again because I feel like she's not getting enough from the left and it's causing her to only get the formilk which is making her super gassy

My DS did, I think it is very common. My one boob always had more milk.

Luckily, my DD will go for either but my left always produces more than that right. So weird.

My right side produces much more than my left side. For a while, I'd try to offer the left side first so I could increase my supply on that side.

My DS favors my left which just so happens to be my bigger boob (guess he's gonna be a boob man ). He eats no prob from my rt but def favors the left!!

since she started latching, she's always favored the left breast more. it took her about 2 weeks to eat from the right breast, but she still favors the left breast.

Re: Is it common for a baby to favor a certain breast?
i eexculsively pumped... but i can tell say to things that may offer insight.. one is that when i pumped one side always gave close to double the amount of milk so it could be a supply thing....
also ds only liked being fed his bottle on my left arm... he hated being the other way

Mine have different personalities lefty is like a mini van (holds a lot of milk) righty is my sports car (all the milk comes out super fast)
Since 4 week dd hasn't cared which side she gets as long as she has a boob her mouth.
