Breastfeeding

DD refuses to eat from right breast?

My right breast produces way less milk then my left breast.  Even when pumping I will get 6-7 oz from left breast and only 2 oz from right.  DD is 5 months and knows that she has to work harder with the right breast so now she refuses to eat from my right breast.  When I try to get her to latch she either cries and archers her back or she bites ( she has her 2 lower teeth)  I have tried doing the football hold so she doesn't know it is my right breast but she is too clever.  I have to pump to relieve my right breast after feeding on the left side.  Any suggestions on getting her to feed on my right side without pain for either of us?

Re: DD refuses to eat from right breast?

  • Will she latch if the breast is full and she can get a letdown quickly, or does she always refuse to latch? My DS doesn't like eating on my left side for exactly this reason. But I switched to a schedule of feeding 2x on the right, then 1x on the left because I know that after that long stretch, it is full enough that he'll get milk quickly.
