What are we doing to even out the girls?
My first baby, I exclusively pumped for 14 months. I had mastitis several times and eventually I stopped producing much on my left side due to mastitis.
I currently have a three month old. It took us seven weeks, but eventually we went from triple feeding to exclusively breast-feeding.
I worked with a lactation nurse weekly until we got to that point. She had suggested feeding on my right side first because my son was getting fussy and not transferring much from the left side. I think that this has contributed to a large size difference now.
Now there is a huge size difference between the two ; I’m talking my left side is like a B cup and my right side is a double D. I have started trying to pump on the left side to even out supply/not be quite so asymmetrical. But I am not getting much pumping this morning was only drops however, last night I was able to pump 1 ounce.
Besides power pumping is there anything else that I should be trying to do? Or am I likely just going to have decreased supply because of past trauma to the breast (mastitis)?
