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

Q. hi..my child is 40 days old. since his birth he has learnt to suck only the left breast. the nipple of the right one is slightly shorter and whenever I try to feed him with the right one he seems to be very irritated. so for the past 30/35 days he is just having the left breast. I feel just having the left one will not be sufficient for him so iam forced to give him formula feed which iam not liking as everyone says mother's milk is the best. What should I do to make him suck the right one even? Should I keep on trying?
