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 cwill be small. see for proper position attachment while giving breastfeeding from other1 breast. you can take help of breastfeezding cpillow as well as meet lactation expert and see videos on youtube regarding position and attachment while breastfeeding
