Latching

My son latches perfectly on my left boob (perfect open mouth, fish lips etc) but won’t latch well on my right boob no matter what I do.. he just refuses to open wide on it. I always point nipple up, tickle nose & skin under nose/top lip. Body & head properly supported. Nothing. Any ideas? (7 weeks old)

Maybe he doesn't like the position? I'm having the same problem and the lactation consultant told me to try different holds and see if it makes a difference (the football hold works great for us and so does side lying)

i had this issue i used nippe covers it allows him to learn to latch better without leaving your nipples raw and painful

@miryam we just weaned off of them :)

@Tattianne I’ll change it up see how we go :)
