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

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.
