I get like 1oz from my left side and almost 4oz from my right during a pumping session at work. Is this normal?
LO drinks about 5oz from a bottle so this is great...just such a dramatic difference. Haha
-
I don't pump often, but when I do (and even judging from how full I feel), my right side has a lot more milk than my left.
-
Yep! My right side is also the over-producer.
-
Yep. I produced more from one side. I can't remember which side though!
-
Always more from my right side!
-
I wonder what it is about the right side!!
-
my over-producer was the left. it was filling up nursing pads with colostrum while I was still pregnant and always made at least 2x what the right did. I think near the end of nursing (18 mo for me) the right had completely given up and only the left had milk.
-
Omg! I wish i could pump that much! My right side produces more fore sure. It weird cause I always thought my left produced more.
-
I don't pump but my right side always feels more full. But my left has a more forceful letdown.
-
Always 2-3oz more on the right! Weird.
-
My left side usually produces about an ounce more.
-
i always produced about 1 - 3 oz more on the right.
-
Yep, I normally get 1-2 oz from the left and 3-4 oz from the right.
-
My right boob is usually my lazy boob, but they have switched before. Usually I get at least an ounce more from my left boob.
-
Yes! When I pumped, my right side always produced twice the amount as the left. No matter what I did, it never evened out.
-
@Danizaur: almost always! One of my pumping friends says "lefts a stud, rights a dud!"
-
Always more in my right. I think now at 16 months my left has nothin. DS is only on that said for like a second.
-
My left one was always better to pump. I don't think the amount of milk it produced was more than the right one did. The right one just didn't like getting pumped
-
My right has always produced less, sometimes half. It is weird to me because when we were just starting, it was my left that I had major problems with with cracking, bleeding and sheer, excruciating pain. Yet, that is my great producing side.
You can help even them out by adding more pumping/feeding time to the lesser producing side.
-
I always got more from my left side!
-
Leftie is more productive for me. But if I pump for longer (like 20-25 minutes) they even out.
Also, taking lecithin evens them out a bit too. Rightie is just slow.
-
@Mrs Hedgehog: my right side was the excruciatingly painful side in the beginning too and now it's my mass producer! Weird.
-
My left side used to produce way more than my right, but once I went back to work, it's evened out. They're probably within an ounce of each other now.
