A. this is common in some cases. just xheck that that u are getting enough secretions from left breastfeeding and there is no issue with latching. watch out for retracted nipples if any that need a manoveur to correct it

A. If baby suddenly begins to refuse one side, it could be caused by an ear infection or other illness in baby (making nursing painful or uncomfortable on that side), an injury to baby (or something else, such as a sore immunization site) that makes nursing painful in that position, or a breast infection in that breast .
