#AskTheExpert My baby rejects a breast, I always sleep to his left and he prefers that position while sleeping in cradle also. From 3 days he is rejecting my left breast when he is awake as he would be turning to his right on my lap. He would hold his body so tight the moment he realises I am making him sleep in that position, if I switch the position he seems okay. How to overcome this problem and make him suck the other breast while he is awake ?

A. patience is the key. keep on trying be patient. express your milk from that side and feed through bottle to maintain good supply in that side also. feed the baby from other side when she is sleeping.
