Ladies - is it possible for one breast to make more milk than the other? C favours my right breast and it seems to be making more milk. I have been alternating sides but when I put him on the left breast, he gets annoyed, pulls off, shakes his head and then cries etc and if I move him over to the other side he latches on and feeds fine
My left side feels emptier and Im worried it will slowly stop making milk if it isnt getting stimulated as much as the other side.
I fed from right at 11am and pumped from the left (only got 1/2 oz) and then at 2pm I thought I would try and feed from the right again and see if there was enough milk for a feed and then I could pump from the left again but C seemed upset after about 10 minutes and I moved him to the left, he fed for a while and then seemed upset again! I was so confused so moved him back to the right, he must have got a little more because he finished and is happy. I tried expressing both sides and I only got a few drops.
Is it possible to feed from one side and pump from the other? The only reason I want to pump so much is because C is on infant gaviscon and I was giving it to him mixed with cooled boiled water but he is going off it and Im struggling to get him to take it so would like to be able to mix it with a little bm and give it to him that way! It would also be nice to have some milk so dp could feed C once in a while!
I finished feeding/pumping about 3pm and Im pretty sure C will be wanting fed again at 5pm - Im worried I will still be empty and he will be fussing and upset
Were not going to be at home (we will be out taking L to his dads) and Im worried I will have a hungry baby and I wont know what to do
