Breastfeeding
Low milk supply and less on one side??
I take Fenugreek pills and drink Mother's milk tea all day and still don't produce enough!! My son has a milk protein allergy so I can't have any dairy or soy products. I was hoping to stop breastfeeding at 6 months, but he hates the Alimentum and Nutramigen formula. I try mixing with my milk and he's not a huge fan.
When I first started breastfeeding my left side produced most of the milk and now it's the opposite! When I pump my right side will produce like 4-5oz while my left is lucky to get 2oz. What happened? What can I do? If they both produced I wouldn't have to stress and pump all day!!
Please help

Re: Low milk supply and less on one side??
Are you only pumping?
If I was worried about my supply, I would call the LC at my hospital.
My supply was dropping so I started on domperidone, which is helping, but I still nurse four or five times a day while working and pump three times a day. Your supply might be less if you're not nursing because the baby is more effective than the pump.
