Refusing left side
DS (2.5 months old) has refused to nurse on my left side for 12 hours
now, since 9:00 this morning. He is clearly hungry yet cries and acts very annoyed when I offer the left side and will not latch, but then nurses eagerly off the right side. What is going on? I've tried football hold to no avail (only position I've ever used before is cradle hold.) I'm getting uncomfortable and will have to pump before going to bed. -- Cheryl S. Mom to Julie, 2 yr., 7 mo.

I think it's ear infections that can make lying on one side more uncomfortable. Phoebe -- yahoo address is unread - substitute mailbolt |

Sorry I know I shouldn't laugh, I hope you have him feeding on that side again, but when I read your post I read 2.5 years instead of months. I was sitting here trying to picture feeding a 2.5 year old in football hold! What a twit :-) (me not you). |

... Can you nurse lying down? I think it's ear infections that can make lying on one side more uncomfortable. Haven't tried lying down yet. Could never get it to work with DD so haven't bothered trying yet with DS. If it's an ear infection, I'm really surprised, since he hasn't had a cold or even the sniffles. We just were at the doctor a day and a half before (I suspected reflux) and she looked in his ears then. Anyway, thankfully he did take the left side for his 4:00am feeding last night and I am looking more normal now (the left one was about twice as big as the right by then! - even though I had pumped almost 4 oz before going to bed) -- Cheryl S.

He *always* ends up slumped to his right when he falls asleep sitting up (the only way he'll sleep during the day) - maybe he had a stiff neck in that direction? -- Cheryl S.

Not in a football hold! Kivi nurses in the more traditional cradle hold. She's not 2.5 yet, though, 'only' 23 months. It's actually easier nursing a toddler, because they know just what to do!

Not in a football hold! Is that only due to getting the space behind you? Otherwise I don't see why not? The space behind you is an issue, certainly, but for me, it's also because you have to help support her head and shoulders to raise her up enough to reach your breast and toddlers are HEAVY- or else slouch down to get the boob in her mouth. In the cradle hold, her butt and body are resting on your lap, automatically raised up. She still rests her head on my arm, but it's a lot less that way - at least for us.
