More milk on one side?

hrhone328 · May 2013

I've recently started pumping to start building a stash for when I go back to work and I'm noticing that I get a lot more milk on my left side than I do my right. Like at least twice as much. Is this normal? Anyone else notice the same thing?

Yep! I have more milk on my right side. I call it my superboob!

Same here! Occasionally I'll get an equal amount out of both, but not often.

Yep. I can pump 5 oz from my left side in the same amount of time I get 2.5 from my right. It's pretty funny looking when they're full. Haha

Same here. Interesting enough the left side produced more milk the first time around and now my right side is producing more.

This is good to hear! I was thinking something was wrong!!

Yeah I experienced that too. Then I noticed that the nips were differently shaped (one bigger than the other), so I experimented by trying a different size flange for one side. Now, though one side initially pumps faster than the other, they pretty much equal out by the time 15 - 20 min. comes around.
