complaining about pumping amount

lyankowi · September 2013

I work part time and pump once today while pumping I got less than 2oz from the right and 5 from the left. My left is my super producer but WTF right boob. I've never been that uneven before. Luckliy I have some breast milk in the fridge I can add so I have a good amount to freeze.

U should feel lucky, I get two oz total from both breasts.

Yeah I had a similar post about this same thing! The advice I got was to keep the baby on the lower producer a little more if you don't want lopsided boobs. Otherwise just count yourself lucky! 7 oz in one pump session is great!

Seven oz is a lot to pump. And it's normal to have lopsided production. I don't think you should "complain" when some women have legitimate supply issues. It's sensitive for some.

I think no matter what you produce, it's frustrating when you come up short. Pumping really messes with one's head...true supply issue or not. That said, I have random days where I come up short, but then the next day I'm fine. It could be a clog, too.
