A member asked:
I've been nursing about 2 months. lately i've noticed that when pumping i produce twice as much on the left breast. what can be causing & how can i fix?

Pump longer on right: The easiest way to even out milk production is to pump longer on the side that is giving less milk. Also start nursing on the side that is giving less more often so that side has more nipple stimulation. Sometimes however one breast will seem to consistently give more milk than the other and that is ok too.
