2 Answers

Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years ago

A. yes it is very commonly seen that the child will take breastfeeding from only one breast properly and will not be comfortable when taking breastfeeding from other breast. it is very important to give breastfeeding from both the breast otherwise there will be abnormal increase in size of one breast and the other breast will be small. see for proper r position attachment while giving breastfeeding from other breast. you can take help of breastfeezding pillow as well as meet lactation expert and see videos on youtube regarding position and attachment while breastfeeding

A. You can switch sides and nurse on both breasts at every feeding or breastfeed from only one side. It's down to your (and your baby's) preference. Breastfeeding from only one side is usually not a concern, especially if you have an established milk supply.
