This is following on from a previous thread I started about my baby refusing to feed. It turns out he's just refusing the right side! If I offer the right he either won't feed, or will suck until the letdown happens and then pull off screaming, usually after having choked. If I offer the left he will feed no probs.
Why?! And how do I stop my right side drying up (I would struggle to express as I have a 2yr old too!)? It's only been since about Weds.
I tried feeding on right in football hold - no luck. Tried again in as close to the left hold as possible (bloody uncomfy for me) and it was marginally successful.
Background info: he has a posterior tongue tie and clicks whilst feeding; I have forceful letdown; he's dropped from 75th to 50th centile sometime in the last 6 weeks don't get him weighed much... He's fine in himself, alert, nappies normal, sleeping fine (for a newborn!).
Any tips would be much appreciated by my poor neglected right boob.
