My daughter only likes to have milk from my right breast and not from the left one. How do I change this habit of hers? Could there be a reason for it?

Many babies develop a favorite side, and only wants to have milk from one breast. Sometimes it’s the side that produces more milk or sometimes it’s the side that produces less, because the milk doesn’t flow out as fast and forces them to gulp the milk quickly. Others show a preference for one breast for a while, and then start taking the other one again. Others will continue to have a strong preference and refuse to take one breast completely. Favourites are favourites? :) Read more here : https://www.breastfeedingbasics.com/qa/baby-takes-one-breast
