A. Hi mom This is breast preference in babies. They feel comfortable sucking from one side. So no need to worry. This is very much normal in babies. Feed after every 2-3 hours interval or when demanded by the baby. Take care

Q. My baby is 11.5 month old...he doesn't like left side breast milk so I stopped breastfeeding my baby from left side for 15 days & again i started with left side as my mother told left side breast will get harder and not good for my health... so again I started today after removing some milk (as it's been sour)..I forced baby to have left side breast milk he also drank...but suddenly he got fever & cold in night...is there any connection with left side breast feed started again?
