IMO · Answer

Mine prefers the left breast up till now. My left breast is now times 2 of my right breast cos it fills up more quickly. Not been funny at all cos I have to pad my breast to make them look same size

Olamiposi Ololade Ademuyiwa · Answer

Hope you are carrying him well when putting him to your right breast cos we find it easier to carry them to suck the left. The position of carriage could make them loose interest so please check that he's comfy

Ozy Geraldine · Answer

Am truly grateful thank you mummies

Encourage him to suck both equally. He'll get used to eat. Else you will be walking around with 1 and half breast

Esther cool · Answer

You need patience and keep forcing him especially when he is very hungry, Mine did that on my right breast at 2weeks, I forced and begged him it wasn't funny for me cos my breast was heavy, strong and bringing out milk. But I keep pressing out the milk out.
