A. Hi there! Don't worry, it's actually quite common for babies to prefer one breast over the other. You can try gently encouraging your little one to nurse from the less preferred breast by offering it first when they're hungry and also switching sides during feeding sessions. You can also try different positions to make nursing from the less preferred side more comfortable for your baby. Keep in mind that it's okay if they still prefer one side over the other, as long as they're gaining weight and getting enough milk. Trust your instincts and keep up the great work!

A. Then from the other side you can go ahead with the expressing your breast feed and that is what you can offer to the child which is what is going to be helpful for you as of now so that’s a very good thing that you should be focusing upon
