Another thing to consider is that the problem may be the baby's not the 
mother's. As in Torticollis where the baby doesn't want to turn his head 
one way or keeps his head turned one way most of the time. These are the 
babies who seem to always be looking past one shoulder to one side 
rather than holding the head straight out. This is missed by many 
doctors, nurses, and LCs. You can tell these babies by how they hold 
their heads to one side while you are changing the diaper or weighing 
them. Most babies keep their heads looking straight out from their 
chest, not turned to one side. These little ones will often refuse to 
nurse one side or will do cradle hold one side and "have to" be football 
or clutch held on the other side. The less liked side then drops 
production which changes the taste as someone else wrote.
