Feeding Issue

2024-04-29 10:51:33
Hi Dr, My son is 3 months and 23 days old, and he is refusing to feed from the right side breast. His current weight is 5.9 kgs, and he only takes 30-35ml of feed every 3-4 hours. At night, he doesn't ask for any feed and sleeps the whole night. Can you please tell me if this is normal?"

Birth weight? Babies double birth weight in 4mnths. If he's doing that, can ignore the sleeping thro night
Next Steps
He should feed from both breasts otherwise milk supply will reduce that side
Health Tips
Need to check why he doesn't feed fm one side. Problem with nipple, breast engorgement or not getting milk due to incorrect latching?
