Inactivemy 4 month old son refuses to nurse on the right side. he will nurse just fine on the left side. nhe arches his back and grunts and groans. HE acts miserable when i put him the the right side to nurse. could this be from the reflux? i read that some babies turn their head to the left alot. were just starting omeprazole 5 mg a day. he isnt gaining weight and if this doesnt work the ped wants to do some testing. my older son had reflux that was really bad and he wouldnt nurse on the right side either. but he gained weight and was a happy spitter. i didnt do much reserch with my oldest since he did fine and had no issues. he never needed any meds. this time around is much diffrent and i am so very clueless. any thoughts?

InactiveIs it possible that you have a heavier let down on the right side? For some reason I had a heavier let down on the left compared to the right and the “spray” used to make her choke and arch and gag.

it’s hard to join a board & have people post what might be wrong- but here I go…the dose of omeprazole is very very low…
you can read all about why that is so here, on this board, and also on http://www.marci-kids.comas for preferring the one breast- it might have to be w/ turning his head, but if that’s the case then you could try different positions…
it might be what Lori said, Over Active Letdown OR it might be the opposite and the milk isn’t letting down fast enough for him on that side.
for these issues I recommend going to <!–

Inactivei had two different babies that definitely preferred one side over the other—-i have no idea why. if i tried to nurse my first baby on the “wrong” side first, he would put up a fuss. i had to start him on the other side and then later i could change him to the other side. always thought it was kind of weird.

Inactiveyeah sometimes i can trick him after but sometimes not. he is like his brother. very picky on what he wants!
