Default Looking for advice, I'm worried about my milk.


Okay so, WIC finally got me an electric pump. Before that I was using a manual Medela and I was getting 2 oz from each breast each time I pumped. Now I have switched over to a Medela electric pump and I am getting 3oz from my left breast and only 1oz from my right! At first I thought it was just me getting used to a new pump so I tried my manual again on the right side and I can still only get 1 oz out of that side.

I've noticed DS is not as satisfied when he nurses on my right breast, also. Is there anything I can do to up production on that side? This is stressing me out! I want to nurse for as long as I can and I'm worried my milk isn't keeping up with my son..at least not on that side, anyway.

Also, he's a month old..how often should he be eating now and how much? When he nurses he still wants to eat every two hours. When he takes a pumped bottle he will go closer to three hours but he will only take 2oz at a time.
