When nursing I just always put the baby to the bad side first to make sure it was emptied. Or try to fit in an extra pumping session for just that side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-only-in-one-breast-tips-for-increasing-supply#post-450340 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 21:11:59 +0000 Kemma 450340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feed feed feed! The more you can have LO suckling on the low breast, the more milk the breast will produce </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-only-in-one-breast-tips-for-increasing-supply#post-450328 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 20:56:10 +0000 Bao 450328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Put LO to the breast that doesn't produce as much, pump that side after LO eats, keep hydrated...my right side produces way more than my left too bc that's LO's preferred side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-only-in-one-breast-tips-for-increasing-supply#post-450319 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 20:47:11 +0000 Mrs. Bee 450319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine were pretty even, but olive prefers my right breast and now the right side produces 4x as much. the best way to increase supply would be to put your lo on your lower producing breast. also maybe just pump that breast as many extra times a day as you can? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-only-in-one-breast-tips-for-increasing-supply#post-450315 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 20:45:50 +0000 wheres_c 450315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far, LO has been breastfeeding like a champ, and i have been pumping as advised by my LC to increase supply.<br /> At 9 days PP, one breast is producing approx 3oz per pumping session, while the other one barely produces 1/2oz.<br /> Any tips to get the other breast to increase? Ive tried pumping with extra suction on that breast but it doesnt seem to be helping!</p> <p>Im frustrated because im lopsided and because LO isnt getting enough to eat from one breast only.</p> <p>Any advice? Anyone else go through this? </p>
