Why does one breast produce so much more milk?

Question

So I’ve been pumping for about a week. I typically pump for about ten to fifteen minutes at a time and my right breast consistently gives me about five ounces while my left breast only about two or three at each sitting. Does anyone else experience this?
Normal or not normal? Anything I can do to increase production in leftie? lol

Answer

Normal. Usually its bc on boob has been the go to boob. Try switching it up or pumping for a little longer on the slacker side.

Answer

Normal. Not sure how to correct it, but I used to power pump every night to get my left to start producing more. For me though, I was getting literally like 5 drops and my right only about an ounce. So I needed to get both to produce more.

Answer

Keep pumping on that side longer! Also try a good massage and some hand expressing. When one boob is making a little more I will focus on that one and stop pumping give it a good 5 minutes after massage and as soon as I put my pump back on I’ll get a letdown. I’ll pump on that boob until I’m not getting hardly anything.
