My 8 month old baby likes to switch from one breast to the other (as if playing) when I nurse her. Has anyone else experienced this?

My friend had the same issue. Her baby will switch sides every 3 to 4 mins as though playing games. Initially my friend thought was supply issue but concluded that it is probably just her baby playing around. She is trying to teach her baby not to do it because it is making breastfeeding outside impossible. She tried cuddling her baby but that did not work. Now she is trying to stop the feeding till her baby stays on one side.. but from what I've last heard, she is still fighting a tough battle...

Yes, when I was breastfeeding, my son does it too! Babies also have their own preferences. Sometimes he likes the right one more than the other. Sometimes he latches on each boob for less than 5 mins interval for no reason. I just keep offering one boob after another once he unlatches. He normally turns away if he's done so that's how I know that he's full.

Yes, my boy will have a protocol to nurse both sides to get satisfaction. I think it is just a habit for my boy since young, around 4 months old. Normally I notice although he is full after one side, he will still nurse another side for a while to get comfort. However, for my daugther she only nursed one side each time.

My baby does the same. And she prefers one breast to the other, which is a bit annoying because she would refuse to latch on one breast. I know a number of mummies who experience the same with their babies. As long as she is thriving well, I don't see this as a problem. And her preferred breast will compensate anyway.
