A. Baby will have a propensity for a particular breast, and if there is any deviance in the nipple, or if there are any nipple cracks event that will make the baby to avoid that side

A. hi yes babies do this they do this because of low milk supply from that side or not feeling comfortable to latch well , etc so please check it try different feeding positions offer less preferred breast first especially when child is wake up from sleep or hungry
