Breastfeeding/latching?

what if he only latches on to one breast? He jus doesn't seem to like the other one, he won't latch, is it something I'm doing wrong?

The best suggestion I have for you is don't talk or sing to him at night when he wakes up or else most babies think its playtime and wont fall right back to sleep. Keep everything low key and lights down low as well if you can.

therarnt any do's and donts breastfeeding during the night is the same as the day, just keep everything low key, so he realises and learns that its night, still offer him both breasts, but you may find he only wants on side during each feed at night :)

Just be sure to still pump the other side so it doesn't have a shortage on milk

its nothing yourng at ll, most baishave a side that they like best, try putting bub onto the side he doesnt really like first and let him feed off that side, do this for a few feeds until he gets used to that side, it maybe that he has to work abit harder to get the milk out of that side, sometimes the milk flows abit easier from one side :)
