Failing let down reflex- I need your advice!!!

Both breasts have a full supply of milk but I have one nipple that won't "let down" through baby suckling.

When I feed from that side, I have to start her off on the other side until I start dripping from the dodgy side then move her over.

I managed all through last bf journey with doing this and am now 5 days into my new babies journey but would really like to find a solution to trigger the let down on this side with less faff than my current method.

Are there any other ways to trigger let down that I am unaware of or ways to "train" this side's let down to be more reactive?

Aware of massaging, relaxing etc but it's not a stress problem because it's always been just specifically this side.

Advice and tips welcome please...!
