Does everyone’s baby have a preference of boob?

My baby has a preference of which side she’ll drink from. I’ve notice when on the right boob, she tends to gag quite a bit and will either get frustrated refuse it completely or keep trying till she doesn’t gag anymore. When she refuses I just give her the left side and she’s completely fine, no gagging no struggles.. I’m starting to notice a difference in the size of my breasts as she’s basically just feeding off the left side. Does anyone know why she could possibly be gagging? And how to get back to using both sides x

Fair warning: if your breast is large and soft, you might need to hold her head up so her nose doesn’t sink in! I use the palm of my hand on my girl’s forehead because I have the same issue 😅

My son only liked the right one and got used to it now he rarely feeds form the left and it's smaller than it was before🤣😳

Try the football hold, even if she is comfortable with a side always offer the other one first. I had the same issue with my little one and he was suspected for torticollis on a side and had flatness on one side. I then reinforced him to take the other boob aswell. It took time but it works

Yes the left

Check babes checked out by a physical therapist, she could have some tightness in her body Also see if there is a pediatric chiropractor near you to help with it also

I had the same problem but with the left boob in the beginning I would use a nipple shield to help her latch on since she only latched on to my right boob .Sometimes I would just pump from my left boob and give it to her in a bottle

@Brynne thank you so much!

@Harley ahaha! Same! One side looks full and the other is just normal. I want to even them out but she just doesn’t like the other side
