My baby only breastfeeds on one side, what now? Why does this happen? It could be that the mother is offering more than one breast, either because it is easier for her to breastfeed, and the baby ends up having a preference. The baby may prefer the shape of the nipple. The mother's nipple is different from one side to the other. And the baby has an easier time with this nipple. In this case, the mother should help the baby latch on. By massaging and expressing milk until the areola area becomes very soft. Low milk production in this breast. The baby will prefer the breast that has more milk. The presence of congenital torticollis that causes the child to prefer one breast over the other. This problem usually develops due to difficult births, or due to improper positioning in the uterus.
