It could be that's he's feeling uncomfortable or sore in the right hand position.

0300 100 0212 is a number for the breastfeeding support network. They'll be able to give you some good advice.

I had this, my baby preferred the left breast for ages, I'd it's got more milk it may be that it's coming out too fast. I would keep offering as much as poss, if he's talking from it every now and then it shouldn't affect your milk supply.

Also could you try lying down position, and offer it from other side that way. So like down on your side and he lies down on his side facing you?

Ds did milk refusal for 2-4 days when he was about 6 months old. We think it was he had a burst ear drum while feeding. It was odd, you'd see him get excited for milk, go to feed and then pull away suddenly.

What I did with him was wait until he was really drowsy, almost asleep, and then gently rub his lips with the breast and he'd latch on and dream feed.
After about 2-4 days he started feeding fine again.
