.. He don't suck it at all, I guess bcos the nipple didn't come out like the right breast. I used to pump out the breast milk. What can I do to make him suck it?

It is important to alternate the breasts with each feed.

Always ensure that the baby is properly attached to the breast.

Also, you can start with the left breast when your baby is hungry first before switching to the right one. There is NO REASON the baby should reject one breast.

Sometimes it has to do with the positioning and attachment of the baby to the breast or the baby tasting fore milk after already taking the hind milk from the other breasts and thinking not sweet enough but if you persist and give especially when hungry the baby will take it.
