How to increase milk in one breast

[Stillmonday]

One breast doesn't fill up nearly as much as the other and I think it's because I tend to feed baby on the other breast.
If I start using a pump do you think it will encourage more milk flow ?

Maybe, but is there any reason you don't alternate?

More use = more milk
Pump or baby:)

Pump or baby, but it's totally normal for one breast to be a bit crap. My left was definitely an under achiever.

I try and alternate now but in the early days I used one more than the other as it was easier with the seat I was in.
I might start pumping the other to see if they even out a bit more

Mine was like this! I had an inverted nipple which didn't help either. Pumping sorted it out though, once feeding was really established I made sure I was using both sides equally, and just accepted it would take twice as long for DD to feed on the crap side!!

I fed for the last three or four months on just one side as I was bored of it after two years and wanted to use the computer.

The more you feed the more milk it makes.

Would it not be easier just to start every feed on that boob for a while?

Alternatively, pumping for 5 minutes after feeding on that breast should stimulate production - it's more effective if you're pumping after it's been emptied by baby. But I actually always found one boob was a better producer than the other.

I had this too and read somewhere to always start a feed on the lower supplied breast
