Left boob, why do you suck?

littlemaybaby · May 2010

Does anyone else get a whole lot less out of one boob than the other? Ugh, I feel like my left boob is giving up on me! I hope this is just while pumping and not while DS is eating, because he only eats on one side per feeding and lefty is definitely not doing it's job when it's on the pump.

I was just wondering the same thing...when I pump I get 1 oz from lefty and 5 or 6 from righty.

I get *maybe* half an ounce from my right side, and 4-5 from my left! I wish I knew how to increase it...

My righty is sucky. I only feed her twice a day from it and when she is done with it she wants the giant boob. She loves my lefty. However, I have noticed when I pump that I always get the same amount combined. If my left is short, my right puts out more. Wierd.

The same this is happening here, except that it is my right boob.

Parker always seems content after he eats, so I am not too concerned. He also only eats on one side per feeding. I have been trying to up the production on that side, by feeding him off of that one at night when he wakes up and then just pumping the other side. I don't know if it has worked or not, but it hasn't gotten any worse.

Lefty's my low supply boob, too. I get significantly less when I pump, and I've noticed that Will gets fussy on the left much quicker than on the right.

ALL THE TIME!

I call my left boob 'The lazy boob'...I've even got DH calling it that! haha

DH: How's the lazy boob doing babe?

HAHAHA

They say if supply is low on one side, to keep offering it so that it will increase. I am worried about getting uneven boobs, so I try to nurse evenly. But what I generally do is offer the left, then the right and then the left again. Even if it feels empty though, I have squeezed it to see if milk comes out and it does! I just think DS prefers the faster flow of my right "fuller" side.
