Anyone else lopsided?

So, I'm still BFing DD and pumping once a day at work. My left breast has almost completely stopped producing milk. I just pumped 5oz from the right and like 20 drops from the left. Anyone else?

Given that I'm still able to BF and pump as much as DD needs, it's not really a problem, it just seems kind of weird.

Yes, my left is my big producer and the right is like, "Eh, guess I'll make some milk today, why not."

I definitely make more in my right, I don't pump but I can tell.

Same here, but I've never noticed outwardly. I can just tell by "feel" and how she's nursing.

i don't bf but i was lopsided before i was even pg...my seamstress for my wedding dress liked to point it out, but i did bf for like, a week in the beginning and i was so paranoid that i would end up being lopsided...she definitely had an easier time with one than the other....however, i think that ended up evening me out

I read recently that a vast majority of women produce more on the right and it has nothing to do with which hand is dominant. I definitely produce more on the right and am lopsided as a result but not very noticeably

That's so interesting! I didn't have this happen with DD1 so it's been a little surprising. But luckily, DD2 just dropped down to one bottle of bm a day at day care so I'm still pumping as much as she needs and she's still nursing when we're together. I'm hoping to stop pumping soon but have a work trip in early March and want to leave enough bm for her to have at bedtime/wake-up while I'm gone.

@PrivacyWanted that is interesting...especially because I have always produced WAY more on the left. It's noticeable to the eye and I notice a big output difference when I pump. DD definitely prefers to nurse on the left side too.

I'm a leftie too, milk-wise. Not handed ness wise, though.

I only bf for a few weeks and I'm majorly lopsided. I never was before I was pregnant though. I literally have to shove my left boob back in my bra 10 times a day.
