Today's "is this normal" question...

[mrslefty]

I could have titled this "why is my right boob gimpy?" because seriously! I pump after he eats and get 2-4oz from the left side and .5-1.5 oz from the right side.  Am I normal...okay don't answer that...anyone else experience this?

[shevacc]

I always had one gimpy boob. At this point I can't remember if it was the right or the left, since I don't pump anymore and G only nurses at bedtime or early in the morning when she's sleepy. Anyway, I could temporarily encourage the lackluster producer by having G start more nursing sessions on that boob than the other. Then they would even out and I'd go back to equal nursing on both sides. Then the cycle would repeat. So yeah, if you consider me normal (hahaha) then you're not the only one!

Righty was always my big producer, and Lefty was always disappointing.

You are TOTALLY normal.

ETA: Have you thought about taking a breastmilk supplement? There are a ton out there, but maybe start with Mother's Milk tea and see if that makes a difference? There's fenugreek (but that can make baby gassy), goat's rue, and you can even rub essential oils like fennel and basil on your boobs (DoTerra or another reputable EO source) a few times a day to increase production if you're concerned about it.

Even though neither really produced anything, one was definitely better than the other.

Had the same problem. My right boob has always been my bigger boob and even with milk production it does better than my left. Now my boobs are so off in size proportions it's not even funny.

It seems to be much more normal for production to be uneven than for it to be even, especially in the first few months.

Left boob was always way better. It was called "Big lefty"

[jennlin]

I've always been relatively even--meaning they alternated being strong producers..but this last week, left has been getting on my nerves.

Totally normal. My right produces more, but I read its more common for the left side to be the big producer.
