Gulping air one side

[@llli*shadow.rafe]

my baby is 12 days and a couple nights ago he started sucking much more strongly. he does fantastic on the left breast but on the right he seems unable to get a good enough seal to accommodate the harder sucking and is gulping so much air he is fussy and i have to burp him constantly. he also ends much less satisfied and now my left side is getting engorged while my right just doesn't seem to produce much at all. i feed 1 breast per feeding and repeat that breast if feedings are less than 2 hrs. he is gaining well. any suggestions to help?

Welcome! How are things going now? And how does the latch feel?
