breastfeeding.

So iv only been able to breast feed my daughter with one breast. She can only latch on to my right with out hurting me. She cant latch on to the left right with out causing me sever pain. So is it ok to only use one breast as soon as my nipple heals I plan on pumping that side. An when she gets bigger she wont have such a problem ot bcus her mouth is super tiny.

Definitely pump on her least dominant side to keep your supply (not to mention your beasts) from getting lopsided. And put her on that side last for a while when she's not so vigorous.

I dont think u have to use both but the one your not using might end up hurting a lot cuz its so full. Maybe ask ur doctor or midwife about it.
