If your baby is less than three months the best you can do is try repeatedly to make them less preferred breast feed , especially when you get too hungry is always better to put the rejects. The main problem that can happen is that your baby does not consume all the milk needed just one breast and not eating for two chests, one of them will stop producing enough milk.


If you try and try but your baby will not eat from that breast, a way to protect your milk supply is to use a pump or pump milk to make milk and thus produce more, but it is always more effective than your son pull with his mouth. That milk it anyway then you have to give a bottle so you do not stay hungry.


If you’ve been a while feeding your baby successfully with both of your breasts and your milk flow is good, you can let your child choose the preferred breast. Because if there your baby gets enough food and that preference is not a problem for you, you can. And after a time to worry about your milk flow is no longer a priority, but if you keep milk in the other breast milk, so you do not see one bigger than the other, you can still use the milk extractor.
