I have a 3 month old, that will not EVER eat off the right side. When i try to all she does is scream until i give her the other one. And that poses a problem for me because no matter how much i pump the right side is sooo much smaller than the left.
Any ideas or suggestions on how to maybe get her to visit the other side once in a while??

If you're using cradle hold, hold her in the same position (head to the rt., feet to the lt.) and just scoot her over to the rt. breast, supporting her legs on pillows or whatever. She will likely think that she's still on the lt. side.
Have you tried side-lying or football hold?

my DS was a righty then became a lefty. i did what madelsmama said. and it seemed to work. sometimes he still only wants the left one when he wants to go to sleep.
