MyBabyBuddhaWe all have that one boob that just gets a participation trophy.... One side is filling bottles, and the other is contributing just enough and calling it a day. But did you know this is actually NORMAL? It's common for one breast to produce more milk than the other! Here's why: โช๏ธ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ธ-๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐: Each breast has its own amount of milk-producing tissue and storage capacity. โช๏ธ ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฒ: If your baby nurses more often on one side, that breast may make more milk. โช๏ธ ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฝ๐๐บ๐ฝ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ: One breast might respond better to your pump or need a different flange size. ๐ช๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ฒ๐น๐ฝ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐๐ฝ? โช๏ธ Try starting nursing sessions on that side when your baby is most eager to eat. โช๏ธ Check your flange fit on BOTH sides. Your nipples may need different sizes! โช๏ธ If you're pumping, try adding a few comfortable minutes of stimulation on the lower-producing side. Never increase suction to the point of pain. ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Your boobs don't need to produce the same amount! What matters is your overall milk production and whether your baby is getting enough milk. If one side suddenly produces much less, especially with pain, redness, or a lump, check in with an IBCLC or healthcare provider. #babybuddha #slackerboob #pumpingtips #breastfeedingtips #pumpingmom
