I'm sure I've seen posts on this in the past, but my bubs is refusing to feed off one side. Any ideas/tips on a solution?

Can you change the hold you are using? Sometimes Ben doesn't like feeding off my left side so I change to a football hold and that works. Or possibly trying the 'unwanted' side first when your baby is hungriest

Amelia doesn't like to feed off the right side so I always offer this side first when I know she is hungry - like first thing in the morning. Other than that I'm sorry I have no further answers.

I ditto Helen above - I had this problem.  Brooke didn't like the left side for some reason.  So in the end I made sure I always started on this side, ie she got hungry otherwise.  Worked like a charm, and I think it helped Brooke because the feed always went in the same order - left then right.

You could see a chiro or osteopath, maybe it hurts for her to be on that side?

We took Abby to a chiropractor at 1-2 weeks old as she was also favouring one side. She went about 3 times and it must have worked as she is fine now. She was ventouse delivery so must have been out of alignment or something.
