Help! Left breast dried up. Exclus BF 20wk old DD

[GracieGirl]

Help! I'm away on holiday and my left breast has suddenly dried up. 20 week old DD is exclusively BF and started being funny about feeding that side a week ago. Completely refused to feedfrom that side for 4 days now.
I have my breast pump with me and could normally freeze 6-8 oz extra a day using both sides on top of Demand feeding DD and havebeen donating to a neonatal unit. Today i can barely get 1 oz fromleft side . I can't believe how fast its drying up.
How can i get DD to feed from left? I think the usual tricks only work with newborns. My nipples are different shapes so there's no tricking her!
The right side seems to be producing enough to feed her but would really like to use both sides again. I have been expressing from left 3 times a day to tryand stop it drying up but it doesn't seemtobe helping.
Anyideas?
Please excuse typing using DH's iphone very badly!

Only offer her the left side and pump from the other side in the meantime. Feeding lying down / rugby ball hold or feeding in bath?

Thank you mumnw. I have tried rugby ball hold and lying down but she just screams. Its difficult being on holiday with 6 family members getting opportunity to feed or express in private without spending whole holiday in my bedroom. I don't feel i can feed onbeach or out and about with a baby that goes nuts at every feed.
I've tried last 2 mornings in the bath and she just ignores the left breast as if its not there.
I have avery determined baby, she's always refused bottles of ebm too. Even when she's really hungry. I worry that if the supply on left has dropped she could dehydrate in this hot weather if i don'toffer the right too.

My 12 week old DS has never latched onto my RH side. I expressed from there for 5 weeks until it dried up and now he feeds only from the left breast and he's thriving, gaining at least 8oz a week. You might be a bit lopsided but nothing a decent padded bra won't hide but your other breast will produce more than enough to feed your DD.

Thank you 5weeks. I'm not worried about looking lobsided, i barely getchance tobrush my hair most days! Its reassuringto hearfrom someonewho isfeedingone sided without a problem .

If i was to stop worrying about it this week, express 1-2oz twice a day, on left so it doesn't dry up, would i still be able to sort it next week? It might be easier once i'm back at home with no pressure and more time, in a familiar environment. DD would prob be more relaxed too.

My DS used to ignore both breasts (I could only feed when he was drowsy) - but that was because he had reflux and associated feeding with pain. Even when I knew he was hungry, it was almost as if he couldn't bear to look at them or was scared of them!

Do you know if you had a fast letdown on that side? Did your DD ever choke or struggle at the start? I have a very fast letdown (my milk can shoot out - it's ridiculous).

Have you tried getting your DD to latch on whilst she's asleep? You could try at night or during naps - she should start suckling instinctively. I did this with DS - in fact that was how I fed him for about 4 months.
