UNEVEN breasts?

Okay, I know it's normal to have uneven breasts while BF but this is crazy. I nursed our first until she was 1.5 years old and never had this problem. I have one breast that is a "normal" BF breast and the other one is like I'm not nursing at all.....ever! It's not full even after sleeping all night, not even a little full. I'm usually an EBF (first little one never had a bottle) but I decided to pump this morning and I got 2 oz from one side and drops from the other one. Is there anyway to increase the supply from just one breast?

    It's odd that you didn't have that problem before.  My guess is that your new LO prefers the breast that produces more, and barely nurses from the other.  The larger breast must be producing enough to sustain your baby.  Try starting off with the smaller breast every time you nurse.  Have you contacted a LC to see if there's anything else you can do?
