1 boob pumping more than the other

CheerGyrl18 · April 2015

My right boob pumps out anywhere from 1/2 to 1 oz more than my left. I'm worried my left may be drying up. Anyone else dealing with this? How do I get them equal again?

I have breastfed 3 kids and one side has always produced more than the other. I think it is pretty common for one side to produce more milk than the other side. If you are worried, you could power pump on that side or after a feeding just pump more on that side. If you are producing enough to feed your baby and continue to produce milk, I wouldn't be worried.

Sometimes my left boob pumps out 5 oz more than the right. I call it powerboob, though partly I think that the difference is exacerbated by the fact that my right nipple is much smaller than my left and the pump doesn't work as well on that side as a consequence.

My left produces nearly double what my right produces. The right nipple is smaller, too. I use different size shields to accommodate. It's perfectly normal for them to be different.

I read somewhere that the right boob usually produces more than left. My right boob pumps a lot more than my left.
