A member asked:
When i first latch my baby on 1 side my other breast gets a sharp pain in it..(like he's hungry..) is it normal?? if not what could it be??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This is a normal reaction. When the baby sucks on one side, it releases the hormones for milk let down, which are not specific to one breast. Congrats on your baby!
