Re: [ozmidwifery] Favourite Breast

[Christina & Damien]

Hi Sandy and all, My second son breastfed for about 16 months. For the first 6 or 7 months he fed from both breasts. Gradually though he favoured my right breast. Incidentally this is the breast that I also felt more comfy feeding from and also  when just cuddling him. It then became routine that he would have a feed and go straight to the right breast. No problems really. The left one slowly dried up and the right one produced more. I'm normally a little lop-sided anyway so this aspect of it didn't bother me at all. Go with it! Christina. -----Original Message----- From: Sandy Cochrane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, 20 March 2003 12:26 Subject: [ozmidwifery] Favourite Breast Dear all, Would love some ideas on how to help with a babe who has a distinct preference for one breast over the other. The little one is four and a bit months old and attaches and draws beautifully, just has a favourite breast, which makes Mummy a little lop sided (at least 2 cup sizes bigger!).  Mum has tried different positions, feeding from the less popular side first etc, but babe will just play around not feeding, and then demand a feed again in half an hours time.  And if not offered the favoured breast will play at the breast again.  Any ideas?  Thanks, Sandy.
