Holy cow. I think my boobs are producing unevenly! I fed him on the right side at 915, and the left not since 745. And I just pumped at 10 and the r got 3 ounces and the l only 0.5. I also noticed in the shower the r is noticeably bigger. Should I try to use the left more? He normally eats both sides every feeding.

I always produced more out of my left side. I think it's common.
-
Yep, very normal. Try and switch which side you start on each time.

No matter what I did, I got more from my left side. Like at least twice as much when I pumped at work. I think it's pretty common.

Yep - very common. I have always produced twice as much on my left side. As long as you are producing enough overall, don't worry about it!

My left used to produce about 2x my right. I could never even them out and eventually my roght just dried up (as she dropped sessions) so then it was really uneven!
This baby seems to be evening them out more since he prefers the slow flow side. -
I always get more from my left side when I pump. J only takes one side at a time though, so my right must make plenty too. Glad to hear the unevenness is normal!

I have always produced more from my right side. In my morning pump at work, I usually get 6-7 oz from the right and 1-2 from the left. My theory is it's because I got mastitis in my left side a week after he was born, but who knows why!

Mine weren't super uneven, but I definitely had one super producer. In the morning at my first pump, I sometimes got 9-10 oz from my right side alone and only 6 from my left side.
