Underachieving boob
Hello! Wondering if anyone else experienced a big difference in how much milk their boobs produce? My left boob produces between 40 and 100 ml per session, and the right produces 30 ml tops. Any advice for how to get the lazy one working as hard as her sister on the left ?
I’ve tried breastfeeding more on the right, but I think my letdown is slow and my LO gets a bit frustrated.
Any advice would be much appreciated

I also have the same problem. Lefty is definitely an overachiever and usually produces double what righty does. For a brief moment it was reversed and then I got a plugged milk duct on the right and it went back to being the slacker.
@Kelli Same thing happened to me. I try nursing baby more on the right side. He seems satisfied but when I try pumping I get nothing out even if I feel full but left side I get like 3-5 oz when I pump.
