LO is 20 months and his whole life he has always nursed more from the right side. I think that is partly because I tended to always start with that one. Now sometimes it has gotten to the point when I try to switch him to the left side to even it out, he insists on staying on the right!
Anyone else have a side preference? so far my boobs look the same size...

DD did this when we were BFing. We found that one boob just flowed faster and produced more than the other. She would prefer the better producing boob. I always had her start on the slower flow boob so she could empty it.

@californiadreams: My sister told me to only use one boob pad. Whatever boob the pad is the side DD should start on. It worked for me because I always forgot which side she started with and when I finally realized she preferred one boob it was a reminder to have her start on that one.

@bunnylove08: I used to use an app when he was a newborn that told me which side he last nursed on. But i haven't used pads in forever! Like in over a year. Not a big deal as he only nurses morning and night now.

@californiadreams: Apparently you can be "boobed" like you can be left and right handed!
