A. Congratulations on successfully breastfeeding your baby for three months! It's not uncommon for babies to have a preference for one breast over the other, and it sounds like your little one prefers your left breast. As long as your baby is gaining weight and having an adequate number of wet and dirty diapers, there's no need to worry. Keep trying to offer the right breast during feedings and eventually your baby may start taking it more frequently. It's possible that your baby just needs time to adjust to the differences between the two breasts. Keep up the good work!
