More BM on one side

I noticed my supply is very different depending on side.  My left breast produces almost double the milk.  Any one dealing with this?  I am EBF, my baby girl is 2 and a half weeks old.

    I exclusively pump (NICU baby) and notice the same thing. My right side produces way more than my left. I heard it is normal though.

    Most women have one side that makes more than the other. With both my bf boys I did the funny thing is it was different each time :

    Yep, having a "power boob" is normal. :) One is just an overachiever.

    My right side has always made more... with DS and now with DD. I think it's pretty normal.

    I have the same exact problem. My daugther is 5months old and EBF. I have one side that produces double of what the other side produces in one pumping. I looked for any resources to help even this out a bit but nothing I tried seemed to work. I just resorted to avoiding fitted shirts in hopes other people wouldnt notice. It didnt help that my mom would come over and say..you need to feed on that side more you are not even at all..thanks I know :)

    I always have more on the left. I've wondered if it is because I prefer to feed her on that side so my right hand is free.
