Are my boobs broken??!

[TORino]

Well one of them anyways?

When she feeds on the left she gets really angry and pulls off after a while. It's like the milk has stopped coming or it's too hard to get it or something.

So then I have to swap her over on to the next boob (I'm reluctant to do this cos i think it's buggering my supply up)

Does anyone else switch boobs at a feed?

Now she fed from both boobs I don't know which one I should start from now.

have you tried switching her back after a min or so?

 

[TORino]

Yeah, she's still angry

Have you tried winding her then putting her back on the same boob? (not trying to tell you to suck eggs!)
Everything I've read says you should always offer the second boob at each feed anyway xx

 

[TORino]

Yeah, she does for a while and then gets mad again.

I was always told to offer one boob per feed.

It's just with her green poos I was worried she was getting too much foremilk.

Does it not mess your supply up if you use both boobs?

i read you should fully empty one boob and then always put them on the other boob, even if it's just for 5 mins to get that one going too. then next feed start them off on that second boob....i am no boobie expert mind! lol x

Thanks everyone. I hate all of this conflicting advice. Guess you just have to do what you think
