Empty breast? Fussy baby on one side.

Hi all. Ds3 is 5 months old and ebf.

Last two days my right side has been feeling a bit engorged, I suspect whilst sleep deprived I have not switched sides for a couple of feeds.

My right side has always had a forceful let down and plentiful supply. Early on all three children have struggled with it. By end of bf journey older two would prefer right and Dc2, refused the left for final two months until weaned at 13months.

Anyway, yesterday and today, whilst engorged on right, baby has fussed lots at left. When he tries he sucks so hard and I hear no swallowing and have no let down. I then have to switch to right as he gets frustrated and upset. Once at right, I hear swallowing as normal, plus let down.

How do I increase supply on left? I don't want to be just feeding from one side already like I did with ds2 towards the end.
