What's wrong with my right boob, kid?

Noah refuses to nurse on my right boob. It's crazy frustrating. He had his 2 month appt today and his doc said that some babies develop a preference. It's been about a week now with him screaming and batting at my right boob and the only time I've been able to get him to latch on was at 3am while laying on my side - a one time event. I really hope he grows out of this.

    my kid did that too.  she'd only nurse on the right when she was really hungry, so i had to start her on that side.  if she nursed on the left first, she'd refuse the right, and then scream and fuss because she was still hungry.  but as the other poster said, she grew out of it shortly.

  • Ugh, my first DS did this exact same thing when he was 6 weeks old for a week.  It was really frustrating and painful at times since I'd try to get him to nurse from that side and I was engorged and milk was just streaming out! But then, all of a sudden, he was over it.  I hope yours gets over it very soon!
