Inconsistent Milk supply

Inconsistent Milk supply

I have realised after I started pumping that milk supply is not consistent on both the sides.  I get 3oz on my left side and 1 to 1.5oz on the right side after pumping for 10minutes, is this normal? and what can be done to increase or to be consistent on both the sides. Sharing your experience is greatly appreciated

very normal. for the first 3 months righty was my milk stud, and lefty the dud. then, after getting mastitis in righty, the roles reversed. not sure if anything can be done to even them out. i guess if it really bothers you you can pump the dud a bit longer to build supply.

I also get different amount out of each breast. this does not bother me though. I did take more milk plus supplement. i was told you can find it in Whole foods but i got it on Amazon. it's not cheap but it worked for me and in a couple of days the supply increased. mother's milk tea did not help me.
