It happens with most of the children as from one side flow of milk is smooth. So babies enjoy feeding from the side they can get food easily. Bt one thing you have to take care is do take out milk from other side of breast by using ur hands n press. U can get it out in a vessel which is sterilised so det u may feed it to ur child by dropper in case but don't leave it for long time if it's not used in an hour throw it n wash vessel n sterilise again. Another thing you can try is when ur baby is too hungry force him to take from that side after some fussiest he may. suck. But don't stress yourself n d baby. Take care

hi, if he is not feeding on other side, you can express milk from that side & feed him. Always remember baby should be fed from both side... you may have problem in breast at later stage if he is feeding on one side.

Hi i have been through the same situation with my son. Try offering the otherside wen ur baby is sleepy. Dnt force ur baby as it will not work. But keep in mind tht u hav 2 feed frm both the breasts. Otherwise there will be difference in their sizes
