Can only feed from one side

It happened to me. To get through, i just pumped manually on the right side to make sure supply didn’t dip too much. I also used ice packs and silverettes to help ease the pain. My supply dipped a bit but i was able to get it back up once i started feeling less pain. Worked on bubba’s latch so it wouldn’t hurt going forward. Watch some YouTube videos. I can send links if you need. Hope it gets better soon x
Thanks so much keisha - that would be amazing, did the pain go away straight away? Do you think it’s because of the latch that is why it’s hurting or because it had been hurt?
I did this when I has mastitis and an abscess, my supply dropped a bit on one side but returned, however my other boob is so much bigger than the other one. Try a nipple sheild on the sore one or pump it till it heals that helped me x
It took a good few days, about 3 or 4 days but it slowly got better and better. Yes I think it was both a bad latch my LO had at the beginning of our BF journey and also using wrong pump flanges. As baby grows they will get better at latching though and you both learn together
