XP: my left boob sucks.

Hi! I have been ep'ing since LO was born and I have heard that its hard to keep a supply while exclusively pumping. It has been going really well for us, so I haven't been worried about it at all. Out of the blue, I just cannot get as much out of my left side as before. I've always gotten about the same amount out of both sides until the last few days. Today, I got 5 ounces out of my right side and BARELY one ounce out of my left side. Help! Is this the end of the road for us? or is there anything I can  do for my broken side? also, i have never heard of just one side drying up, so does this mean that my other side will soon follow??

  • You can try fenugreek to boost supply. I had to do this starting last weekbc my supply tanked but it's back up and were doing much better!

  • I've been eating old-fashioned oatmeal each morning to help keep up my supply. It seems to work... I've also heard fenugreek is good, and there are recipes online for "lactation cookies" which are supposed to help boost breastmilk.

    Not sure if there is anything you can do to boost your left boob's supply... keep pumping it though.
