Supply getting more lopsided?

[TrudyCampbell]

Leftie has always been my power boob but lately it's gotten really exaggerated. V thinks Rightie is the lamest and will only drink for a minute or two before wanting the good stuff, which of course perpetuates the problem. 

No big deal? Should I try to do something about it?

I'd say it's no big deal. It hasn't happened to me this time around yet, but it did with Claire. She would only nurse on the left side for a minute and then just wanted to nurse on rightie because it was my power boob. Does she take both sides in one session? That's how Claire was, but Charlotte only nurses on one side per session. I wonder if that's the difference.

I think since you are planning to wean in a few months and she's eating solids it isn't s big deal. If it worries you though you could pump just that side a bit to stimulate it into producing more.

I've gotten a clog 3 times in the last week in my right boob so William hates it right now. He will only nurse from it right now if he nurses on the left side first.

I'm no expert but I don't think it's a big deal either since you'll likely be weaning in a few months.

Okay, thanks. I am planning to wean in 3 months so I guess rightie will just be extra lame until then!

Late to the party but it does not matter. I am in the same boat and I suspect she will only nurse on my left once we cut back to morning and night only.

Agree with the others. If it bothering you, you can offer that one first, then re-offer after she has the power boob. I also have a power boob (funnily enough it's the opposite one than with DS1!!) and I always start & finish with lame-o boob just to clock some additional time on there.
