breastfeeding and pumping

posted 30th Oct
Well, Eli is 8 weeks old and bf like a champ, he has gained over 4lbs since birth so Im not really worried about my supply since I EBF but when I pump I can about 1.5oz from my left breast in about 5 minutes but when I switch to my right side it takes about 10 min to get .75oz and it seems empty. I can pump anymore out. Even after just feeding him I still get more out of my left breast. I switch the side he feeds on every time he nurses. There just doesnt seem to be as.much milk in ky right breast.. What am I doing wrong or what should I do?

To me you aren't doing any thing wrong, it is normal to get a different amount from each breast. I pump twice as much on my left side then i do on my right side. But my baby nurses more effectively on my right side then my left. I hear more swallows and everything on my right.
