Is my left boob broken?

[jolyn]

Why is it that I can get loads of milk from my right boob and it always seems to fill up quite quickly and my left just seems to be empty all the time?

I always let her empty each side before starting the other, could it be something to do with the way she's sucking? Anybody else experience this or can offer an explanation? I'm starting to think my left boob has broken down

I'm sure your boob isnt broken!!

She may just be more efficient on one side - it's pretty common.

Yup, same situation here. And after almost 7 months of feeding more on one side, I am now walking around with one lemon and one watermelon
Just hope they go back to normal after I finish BFing!!

Hi Jolyn, it's lovely to see you here, hows everything going? x

My left on is just the same! I'm trying to get it to make more efficient by pumping for longer on that side than the other and I leave Elliot on that side for longer too. Not sure it's working but it might!

Hey elm - sorry I've been crap on here lately - only now feeling I'm getting back to normal - been a bit low, but a lot better now!

Yeah I've been trying to get her to use that side more, but doesn't seem to have made any difference. She doesn't seem to have a problem with it, so there's probably nothing wrong with it, just think it's really weird
