Which breast to begin nursing from:[1]
A nursing mother is to first begin nursing her son from her left breast. [This applies for both a woman who is right-handed or left-handed.[2] This adherence only applies to a male child, however, by a female child, a woman may choose to nurse first from any breast she chooses.[3] This adherence applies to every male child that a woman has, and not just to her first child.[4]]
