Latching problems


My Lo seems to have latching problems on my right breast. He has no problem with the left once and lathes on right away. It gets frustrating sometimes and I'm worried that he is not getting enough. Anyone have any ideas how I can solve this? My breast always gets very full and sore because he will only occasionally latch on to that side. Help

Try holding him under you right arm so he is lying the same way as he does when feeding on the left side,called a rugby hold

Sometimes babies prefer one breast to the other but you can sometimes fool them into thinking they are on the prefferred side by doing this.
