My boobs are broken 😭

I've been breastfeeding exclusively from my left breast for months because I stopped pumping before my daughter turned one. Now, my right breast doesn’t produce any milk at all it's completely dry. I’ve tried getting her to nurse on that side, but nothing is coming out. Any advice on what I should do?

You have to latch or pump both sides or this will happen. You can just keep latching on both sides and maybe start to relactate on the right

@Trinity I’m gonna definitely keep trying because she’ll latch but nothing comes from it.

Contact a IBCLC too to see what they think

Yeah you’ll have to just pump a ton on that side since you’ve only been on one side it doesn’t know to produce anything so you’ll just need to pump probably every 3 hours. On one side. And maybe even though the night if you are still feeding at night too

@Gabrielle you see I can’t pump right now because I’m pregnant I heard that pumping isn’t good while pregnant idk honestly

If you are already breastfeeding then it’s fine. But if you weren’t breastfeeding then it could be. Problem. But pumping and breastfeeding are the same thing. Are you trying to wean your baby or still wanting to continue to breastfeed
