Hi Gina. 1) Why does my 2 months old baby sometimes refuse my other breast? He prefers one side. 2) Is it normal for him to want every half an hour sometimes? Does that mean he didnt get enough milk earlier?

1. Baby likes one particular breast only maybe a. that breast has more milk, and thus, the flow is better b. baby is uncomfortable at the other breast, neck pain, arm pain or whatever.... if this may be the case, do consider seeing an osteopath for an assessment to see if any parts of her body is causing her discomfort. 2. it's possible that baby has not gotten enough milk from just one breast. It's also possible that baby 'pretends' to be hungry because that's the only time mommy will carry her. She needs to be carried, she wants the comfort, Do you constantly put her down immediately after she feeds and do not spend non-feeding time carrying her?
