Patient's question:
The firstborn baby is feeding unevenly, only eating the second side while nursing. After weaning, she is now pregnant again with her second child. The second side that the firstborn previously didn't eat is now always swollen and painful, while the other side is fine. I want to ask what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The situation you described is something that happens frequently in reality. It can be corrected through this experience. Because of the feeding session, the milk ducts were not very unobstructed, so the feeling of fullness was more noticeable. Try feeding from this side first, and then pump the other side to correct the preference for one breast. The above suggestions are for the issue of "a firstborn baby feeding unevenly, only eating from the second side while nursing." I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
