    Are you left handed by chance?  I am right handed and my DD seems to prefer my left breast but I think it's really just that I am more comfortable holding her in my left arm, leaving my right arm free to adjust her and do other stuff.

    Since day 1 DD has preferred my left breast over my right one. Consequently, righty doesn't produce nearly as much as lefty does.

    One breast is typically an "underachiever."  Your DD probably prefers the boob that is easier to get milk from.

    Yep, and I don't know whether it's the cause or the effect, but I now have a "DD" and a "C" (and 4 oz vs 1 oz when I pump)

    Our lactaion coach advised that newborns usually like the left more because they can hear your heart beat & it makes them feel safe
