Boob question...

Do you have one boob producing more than the other? My right boob has always been bigger but when I pump I get twice as much from my right then my left. Anyone else?

  • Me too, it's common.  
  • Yes! Up until a few days ago, one boob could pump 1-3oz while the other could crank out 3-6oz. But then I got a blister on the "good" boob and started nursing more on the lesser one. I'm finding that they've totally evened out production-wise. So I think you can probably game the system by nursing more on the left for awhile?
  • Normal. My doc said the boob opposite your dominate hand is usually the one that produces more.

  • My right will produce 3-4 ounces in the same time it takes my left to produce one. I've heard you can stimulate production in the less-dominant side by feeding the bambino more frequently/ longer on that side, but it hasn't worked for me so far.

    This is not the case for me!
    Not the case for me either
  • My right boob is bigger, but my left is the one that usually makes more.

    Not for me either. I'm right handed and my right boob produces more then the left.

  • My left boob is a lazy slacker.

    And I'm right handed, so dominant hand theory doesn't hold true for me, either.

  • Hmm maybe my doc had it backwards! Who knows?

    Yup, me too, right handed and way more milk on the right.
