My left boob barely producing anything???

Question

Every time I pump my right breast always fills up the bottle and my left breast doesn’t produce anymore than 2 oz sometimes only 1. 
My daughter nurses mostly on my right side, but i’ll have her nurse on the left sometimes, but she defiantly prefers the right side so she’s mostly nursing on that side..  
How can I pick up my milk supply on my left side?! 
It use to fill bottles like the right side no problem, but it’s been dropping bad for the past 2 months. My daughter is 6 months. please anyone with advice i’ll take it.

Answer

If she is mostly nursing from the right side your left will stop producing. You should try to have her nurse on both sides or you can just nurse her on one side but pump on the other side when you are nursing. That will help increase production by making your left side think a baby needs that much milk.

Answer

You kind of answered your own question...
To get up the supmly, you have to use it. And you have to feed baby from it. It is probably harder on the left side, that is why baby prefer right... But baby is the best pump you could have, so tey to feed baby more from left. Maybe try one feed from right the other one left etc.

Answer

It’s a demand and supply thing so you either need to pump a lot more time on the left or have baby eat more often from that side to even it out 
Or 
Do what I do and start with the left side then when they’re done eating, burp, give them some time to wake a bit more and let them top off on the right side of the breasts
