LO is 14 months now and still BF. I had a problem with my left side that made nursing unbearable. I think pumping one side to increase production for a while is worthwhile in the long run. I was lazy in pumping my left on maternity leave (lazy and it hurt). I'm making lopsidedness work but I'm over it. Pump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-starting-to-refuse-one-side#post-1622198 Thu, 08 May 2014 18:07:29 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1622198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only feed on one side at a time, but I would definitely try pumping that side more to get your body to recognize that you still need the milk. The other thing I might do is take More Milk Plus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-starting-to-refuse-one-side#post-1622055 Thu, 08 May 2014 16:41:58 +0000 MamaBehr 1622055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm having the exact problem with the same boobs! Lefty is his appetizer and righty is his entree :). I still alternate which I offer first, but they have been different amounts since day one. When I pump I get 2 ounces out of lefty and 5 to 7 ounces out of righty.<br /> I'm not too worried about it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-starting-to-refuse-one-side#post-1621982 Thu, 08 May 2014 16:04:22 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1621982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Ok, I'll try that and hopefully it'll help. I've also been doing one power pumping session in the evening after she goes to bed.</p> <p>Anyone else have this problem? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-starting-to-refuse-one-side#post-1621879 Thu, 08 May 2014 15:14:38 +0000 MamaMoose 1621879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try pumping on left after each feeding. Breast milk is alll about supply and demand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dd-starting-to-refuse-one-side#post-1621870 Thu, 08 May 2014 15:12:13 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1621870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the past few days, my DD has been getting fussy when I offer her my left breast. I noticed it is smaller than my right breast, so I've been trying to have her nurse that side first, but she usually will end up crying and getting really upset after nursing for a minute or two. I keep trying to offer it and she gets more and more upset, arching her back and turning away. I try massaging it while she's nursing and sometimes it works to keep her going, but sometimes not. I self-express and there's definitely milk there because I get a few drops when I do. When I self-express the right breast though, I've been getting a stream of milk. That never happens with the left side. </p> <p>I'm worried my supply is drying up on my left side and I don't want to end up with lop-sided boobs! I've been trying to up my supply in general by drinking more water, eating more, taking brewers yeast tablets, eating lactation cookies. I just ordered Fenugreek. Is this something I should see a LC about? Is there anything else I can do or should be doing? DD is 13 weeks. </p>
