Home Forums Induced Lactation aka Adoptive Breastfeeding Medical Interventions to Induce Lactation/Increase Milk Supply Left Breast size

Hi, just a question about breast size. My left breast does not have that feeling of fullness that the right one has and has never made as much milk. I mean most the time 1/2 of an ounce only. The otherside will make up to 3 ounces at a time. Do any of youhave any solutions for this? I was on Yasmin for 60 days and now the herbs and the dom. I have been pumping since the middle of July. Our babies are due around the 15th of October. Would it do any good to go back on the protocol and continue pumping? Would the BCP hurt the babies thru the milk? Thank-you so much, Becky

Becky,
Don't worry about it. My right breast does not make as much as my left. Your doing okay

Thanks Nona, it seems the closer we get to our birth the more I worry about making enough milk, I know I can use the lactaid but I still seem to worry. Becky

Becky,
Try not to stress.. stress can make your supply plummit. You don't want that.

I am glad that I am not the only one with this. My left breast is the one though. If I don't pump every 2 or 3 hours my left breast is twice the size of my right. It is noticeable! I get twice as much milk from it. What i have started to do is pump both breast for 20 minutes and then I stop pumping the left and continue on the right side for another 10 minutes. I guess I am hopping that puming a little longer will help the rights side to catch up.
