More milk from one breast?

Question

Does anyone get a significant difference between your breasts when you pump? I have a double electric pump and i just got 1oz from my left breast and 3oz from my right breast. Im also trying to increase the amount in general so i started taking this ⬇once a day but will increase to twice a day starting today.

Answer

I call my left the "loser boob" because my right breast is a champion. When my older DD was about 8-9mos she just decided the left one was pathetic and quit nursing on that side. I let it dry up and nursed her on the right side only for a few more months until she decided to wean. Clearly she got enough from the champion cuz loser boob wasn't used for a long time!

Answer

Yes. Totally normal.
Most women have a dominant side. Mines the right side, baby prefers it too.

Answer

Yes! Having a hard time keeping up with his feedings... I'll get 2-3 from left n only 1 from right

Answer

I do. But when she nurses I think she gets about the same from each, but when I pump I get an ounce from the left and two from the right (if it's morning. Otherwise I get maybe on ounce total). Best way to make more milk is to nurse more, or learn manual expression. Even though I don't pump much I clearly make enough milk - she's gained four and a half pounds in the two months since she was born.
