RP: Different Amounts: HELP

Sarah_Fay

I just gave birth on Monday to my sweet baby boy at 34 weeks, 3 days.  I have been pumping since Monday evening since he cannot latch on and has trouble sucking. 

My left breast pumps about 10 mL of colostrum each pumping session while my right side produces 1 mL if I am lucky.  Is this normal?  What have you all experienced with your two sides.  TIA!

My left side usually produces 2-4 oz more than my right. I think it is fairly normal to have one side that is an "overachiever".

I experienced the same thing when I was pumping my right side barely gave anything while my left produced more.
