Pumping

Not sure if anyone else can relate, I'm breastfeeding but pump a couple of times a day so my baby can also have a bottle.... one boob I get like 4-5oz and the other I get 1-2oz from 15 mins of pumping. Can anyone relate or does anyone have any tips to increase supply in one boob haha? Thanks!

I do exactly the same as you and get similar amounts!

It's normal to have a hero boob and a slacker boob. It's worth trying to think about alternating which side baby starts with if you normally offer both sides at a feed and that might help even things up a bit

I have the exact same!

I’d suggest researching power pumping as can help increase the amounts you produce. Also keep hydrated, water & lucozades & taking Fenugreek supplements- can help boost supply! x

I have the same, and for some reason, after 2 weeks pp, the hero boob became the slacker boob and vice versa!! I haven’t had them even out 😂

Yesss suffering with this!! I did have mastitis which has left a few cysts on that side though I think that’s having an impact 😣 I keep doing things to try and increase my supply but it just seems to be affecting my good side and filling that up huge😂😂 xx

Morning supply is apparently more so pump as early in the day as you can. Try to increase oxytocin- chocolate anything you find relaxing etc a nice bath etc I was stressing on same and as soon as i followed that advice it helped- got my partner to hug me while I ate ferrero rochers and it legit noticeably upped my milk. Focus on you and try not to focus too much on it 🙏

@Lauren how strange I also had mastitis on my rubbish boob maybe that's had an impact too!!
