Thanks for the replies guys I'm going to try to answer as many of the questions as I can before I have to go to work. He is eating fine and gaining weight, all that is good. I know I'm producing enough milk for him but it seems like it's all coming from the left side, lol. What I am worried about is righty stopping production and lefty not being able to keep up. Since he is eating every two hours I can't pump while I am home with him during the day, and I only have time to pump once at night while I'm at work. Sometimes if I'm not too exhausted I get up in the middle of the night while he is sleeping and pump again then. The reason I'd like to be pumping more ounces is so I can be away from him longer at work. I really need it financially right now. The other night I took a hot shower and then pumped immediately after and still only got an oz out of that side.

I didn't work all weekend though and made sure I had him start his feed on the right side often. I feel balanced right now but I didn't pump all weekend so we will see tonight when I pump and work and I'll be back with an update!

MM, I'm drinking plenty of water but I'm not sure I'm getting enough protein (I read that breast milk is mostly water fat and protein) so I'm going to start making myself eat eggs for breakfast (I hate to eat in the morning, yuck) and see if that helps also.---Oh I wanted to add that I'm really trying to stay away from excess milk right now, SO was lactose intolerant as a baby and Nolan has been super gassy so I'm cutting down on dairy as much as I can right now. It's hard because I'm a super picky eater and when I actually pay attention everything I do eat pretty much has some milk product in it. But I'm trying to avoid it as much as I can right now.
