Also maybe see an osteo or chiro in case her neck is sore and it's uncomfy for her to lie on that side.

Good luck]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:00:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29946&PID=841110&title=she-will-only-take-one-breast#841110 <![CDATA[she will only take one breast!!! : What Kel said Don&#039;t get...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29946&PID=841004&title=she-will-only-take-one-breast#841004 Author: weegee

What Kel said Don't get caught up in the expressing stuff, it's not a good measure of how much the boob produces. You most likely won't be getting a letdown while you're expressing hence the small amount. If she's not ravenous, try to start her off on the less preferred side every time and feed twice as often from it if you can.

If it's to do with the way she's lying she might be ok with it if you cradle hold on the 'good' side and switch her across to football hold on the less preferred side so she's lying the same way iygwim?

As always there's a good page on kellymom about it: http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mom/lopsided.html

Did it start happening all of a sudden? If so, you might want to get her ears checked just in case ]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:05:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29946&PID=841004&title=she-will-only-take-one-breast#841004 <![CDATA[she will only take one breast!!! : Yeah lopsided here as well, there...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29946&PID=840848&title=she-will-only-take-one-breast#840848 Author: AandCsmum

Yeah lopsided here as well, there will usually be one good producer & one not so good producer.

If she's not super hungry start her on the bad side. My bad side I can't express bugger all off as well. I tend to think this is more of a mental block as we are already having less faith in that boob.

She won't really want the bad boob as it mean more work initially for her where as the other one is probably milk on tap]]> Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:57:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29946&PID=840848&title=she-will-only-take-one-breast#840848 <![CDATA[she will only take one breast!!! : I have been exclusivly breastfeeding...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29946&PID=840599&title=she-will-only-take-one-breast#840599 Author: julz85

I have been exclusivly breastfeeding my 4month old since she was born , she will not take a bottle at all as she refuses bottles and dummys (basically everything thats not boob) and lately she has been favouring one breast so much that i actually think one has pretty much completly dried up . i was wondering if anyone has any tips on getting the "bad boob" filled up again , i have been attempting to express the bad side when she is taking the good side , i started this today at every feed , so four feeds later and i have managed to express a grand total of 15mills from the bad boob! , i have also tried to get her to feed off the bad side but as there very little milk in it , she just wont take it , im looking very lopsided and i would really like to feed off both breasts again , please help!
