Not happy on one side...?

Twice today my DS has started a feed on my right side only to stop after a few mins (7ish) pull off and cry. If I return him to it after burping etc he still cries yet goes to the left no problem!

Any suggestions?

Shoud have said he goes immediately to the left for the remainder of the feed no problem...

He seems to be taking it laying on his back with his head turned, not ideal but at least it's something. I'm horrible at expressing, I just can't do it,tried by and and a manual pump and nothing comes out and i just get sore Hmm

Poor little poppet. You could try a rugby hold. So if he's feeding from your left, just nudge him across to your right breast. It's easiest if you've got a cushion under your right arm to support you/his legs.
