I'd rather not be lopsided for a year :0) Copy Link to Clipboard

One produces more than the other. You can pump longer on the one that produces less. It helps to bring it up to a more even amount. It may NEVER pump as much as the other breast Adoptive mommy to 4 , Last 2 adopted nursed. Youngest nursed till she was 5! Raising 2 grandbabies, as infants they were raised on donor breast milk

Nona extra helpful experienced member Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 1,176	My daughter inlaw is nursing and when she pumps her left was double what her right was. She nursed more and pumped longer and it brought it up closer to even.. But its still not producing as much as the other side Adoptive mommy to 4 , Last 2 adopted nursed.
