Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Question if you are still BFing or Pumping

This last week, my left breast has seriously just dried up. It is completely weird, when I pump at work, less than an ounce comes out (about 3 oz comes out of the right side). At home, DD gets mad because nothing is coming out even when she sucks vigorously for several seconds. Has anyone experienced this or have any advice? It is very strange! Might right side is just fine!

  • Try kellymom.com, they might have articles about it - and ask on the forums, too. I do know someone who nursed her daughter on only one side for years, and she was fine. hth

  • I'd like to echo kellymom.  I wasn't getting a letdown from my right breast one nursing session, randomly, so I looked it up... I can't remember what it said, but there's a few articles about it.  The next time I nursed, my milk was back.  Very bizarre.

  • My LC told me when my supply dropped on one side to nurse from that side first. My supply just slowed down didn't dry up as much so I am not sure if that would work. After about a week I was fine.
