Breastfeeding:Daughter prefers only one breast!
2003-10-20
Name: Sumi



Hi Friends,
I feel strange abou writing abou my problem.Since last few weeks my 6 months of daughter wants to be fed from only my left breast.I have tried everything from changing places to positions but nothing seems to be working.Does anyone else have this problem? I am worried and at my wits end.
Please help me with your advices and comments.

Ragards,
Sumi

Hi,
Yes,babies prefer to take feed from left breast coz its very comfortable for them. When we feed from right side they become uncomfortable astheir nose touches our body and also the way wehold them is lil different.Most of my friends have the same prob. so not to worry as long as u r nursing.

Hi Sumi,

My daughter is almost 7 months old. She always preferred the left breast, and more so in the last few weeks. I've heard others complaining of this too, so don't worry. I think the breast that's getting used will start to make more milk, and other one less, but your daughter will still get enough milk. Probably, you are right handed, and you are also more comfortable when your daughter nurses from the left breast?

I feed her from the left breast until she's sleepy, then quickly switch to the right one. Have you tried that?

Good luck
Aparna.

Hi Aparna,
Thanks for your valuable comments.Yes I have tried switching her position but in no time she gets up.Anyway I am glad others too face this problem.As you said its probably because of the comfort level.Yes I am right handed and I do feel comfortable nursing her from the left breast.May be she will be ok after a few more days.I can only hope for the best.
Take care.
Sumi

RE:Adult breast feeding
I was not breastfeed in my childhood hence the idea of sucking and feeding from a woman's full, engorged breasts has infatuated me. It is a fantasy that drives me wild like nothing else, just the thought of laying my head in a woman's lap while she brings her swollen nipples to my mouth. Ideally, I'd like to finally explore this with the right female. If you are in or near... - Sanjayhyd [View Message]
