Hi jacinthia Thanks for the reply. Yes I tried pumping and my left breast produces much lesser than my right. My right produces more than half of my left. So it's definitely not due to little milk cus my left breast so little but yet baby doesn't behave tt way, at least not always. But one my right it's always without fail. LC had checked the latch before. If baby latch is wrong, by right latch will be wrong on both breasts right? Baby hasn't started on bottle yet. He's abt 7 weeks..

I'm having the same problem as you earlier. My baby only drinks on my right side. And my right produces more milk than my left (it's alright to have one side producing more milk than another). Now my baby prefers the left side instead. So I'll try to switch side for each feed to ensure my baby will be used to both sides. Maybe u can try latching when ur baby is hungry and your patience is also important as baby do know.
