I don't know if this has been discussed recently, but I came across it several
times, so thought I would share my experience.
CC: "Baby will nurse on one breast, but fights the other."  I rule out any
contributing breast/nipple variables,  and ask if the baby was delivered with
either forceps or vacuum extractor.  So far, in six cases, the answer has been
affirmative.  When I suggest the baby's head may hurt at that point (these are
babies under 3 weeks old), and to use positions to avoid any pressure there,
all the babies (thus far) have latched on the "I don't like you" breast in one
day or less.  Anyone else find this to be true?
