Refusing one breast - help

[sarahloumadam]

My ds seems to be having problems with my right breast - he wants to feed but then pulls at his left ear frantically and starts crying - any ideas?

Can you try him the other way round - hold him under your arm (Like rugby ball) and he might latch on that way - he will be the same way round as the side he likes. IYSWIM.

Or - try feeding lying on your side.

Yes hadn't thought of that, will give that a go. Should have said though that he is 12 weeks and never any problems before - I was wondering if there was a problem with his ear? Not like he is lying on that ear though!
