Breast Preference

There's a whole heap of things.

- I think I must sit subtly different so I'm more relaxed when he's on the right.
- I think partly it might be psychological - I expect there to be less on the left and so there is IYKWIM
- My midwife told me about the way the stomach is shaped:

if they're tipped onto their left (your right boob) then whatever's in their stomach sits in the 'fundus' and body of the stomach, but if you tip them on their right (your left boob) it's against the stomach valve, and if they're even slightly refluxy - apparently lots of babies have a slight degree of it - then it's more likely to head back up the oesophagus and cause bubs discomfort. If it's that, then you can fix it by using the football hold or a more upright position to feed him on that boob

ETA: as usual kellymom has lots of useful info on the subject...

Finley hated the right for a long time - no idea why.

 

a lady at my ante natal group said her wee one screamed and fussed on one side and an Osteopath corrected it for her. Not sure if that helps as you are already seeing an osteo but you could mention it to them.
