A. ho, try to breastfeed from both the sides. Offer the neglected or the less desired breast each time before feeding. Offer the less preferred breast to the baby if he is feeling sleepy. Massage your less preferred breast for good milk supply. Refrain from force feeding on the less desired breast, as it may cause complete aversion. Offer the unpreferred side after your baby has fed from the other breast, for comfort feeding. If the shape of the nipple is the problem, then you may use a nipple shield. Try different feeding positions, such as lying down.
