Infant refusal of one breast only may be cause for alarm.  It is possible
that breast cancer may develope in that breast.  I would recommend a visit
to an OB/GYN for a breast exam and possible mammogram.

"There is, however, some evidence...that following an experience of the
infant rejecting the breast without apparent reason, a woman may be more
likely to develop breast cancer in the rejected breast.  In such cases close
surveillance is probably needed."  BREASTFEEDING AND HUMAN LACTATION
(Auerbach and Riordan).
