TMI... but regarding pumping?
Please tell me it's not just me???
I BF and pump when I'm at work. When I pump I get soooo much more milk from my left b@@b than my right one?  Does this happen to anyone else? It was this way with Caiden too when I pumped.  Embarassing question, but I needed to ask. Just an FYI, both kids seem to favor my left boob!  Maybe it's the size of the nipple? Yes, the left is a bit bigger than the right!
Thanks for letting me embarass myself!

Re: TMI... but regarding pumping?
I am the same way. I always get more milk out of one than the other. When I attended a breast feeding class I was prepared with being told it's quite normal. Not to worry!

Re: TMI... but regarding pumping?
Thanks! I'm glad I'm not the only one! I wonder why this happens though? I also took a BF'ing class and I don't think they even mentioned it?

Re: TMI... but regarding pumping?
My felt boobie was always Benjamin's favourite! Probably because it was the first boob he took- I am a righty and naturally put him on my left side first to have the right hand free to get the boob in his mouth and keep things in check as needed.
I would also always get more milk from it than from the right one--because it was always more stimulated. The good old supply and demand story!

Re: TMI... but regarding pumping?
I am right handed and when I pumped my right breast I always got more milk. It was also alot easier for him to latch to my right as opposed to my left. For some reason I had a hard time figuring out a way to be comfortable and BF with my left.
