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
