I can not get Addison to eat off of the right breast. I have just given up trying. So, my girls now have their own boob. Pediatrician says this isn't ideal but it'll work if that's my only option. Any of you have this "problem"?

I have, have you tried the football hold on each of them? Maybe laying her down, any other position??

Also, sometimes, their necks are out. I have taken my babies to chiropractors to have them adjusted, especially if they are doing this. Sometimes, they go out during the birth...They are so gentle with the babies, you would never know they are doing anything to them..I love to take them in when they are little..Just helps so much!

I've tried different positions. I football hold them now. She won't even take it when I cross cradle her allowing her to lay on the same side she normally would. Olivia won't take the right breast either without a nipple shield. Ugh.

Mine had their own boobs and I can't say I realised it was a "problem". Actually it made life easier. They regulated the amount of milk each one produced and if one had just fed I always knew there was some for the other one. Plus I was never tempted to give one some of the others milk IYKWIM. The reason I did it is because my right boob is my fast flow boob and Tom could never cope with it. He was always choking on it so he had the left and Charlotte had fast flow. It's interesting because Daniel is like Tom and prefers the left one too.
