There are many different ways you can breastfeed your baby. You can alternate sides and feed your baby on both breasts at a time. In fact, the type of breastfeeding depends on your and your baby’s preferences. So why does your baby only breastfeed on one side and is it really a cause for concern?

The decision to breastfeed on one breast or both breasts at each feeding is up to you and your baby. As long as your baby is getting enough breast milk and is growing at a steady, healthy pace, it doesn’t matter whether your baby breastfeeds on one breast or both breasts at each feeding. However, breastfeeding on only one breast can sometimes cause problems such as uneven breasts.
