A. hi dear Your baby has a breast preference. Some babies will only nurse on one breast and completely refuse the other one (breast preference). If your baby shows a preference, don't worry—most babies can get enough breast milk from just one breast. ... If your baby is refusing to nurse on one side, talk to your doctor.
