My supply in the left is WAYYY smaller than my right supply

Supply and demand is what I was always told! If one breast is producing less then you need to feed/pump more frequently on that one primarily. Unfortunately no matter how often I pumped or fed I never was able to produce more than 1oz from the left and 2 oz from the right even after 2 months of trying. I eventually gave up figuring my testosterone levels were always on the high end preventing me from effectively BF. My advice is to keep trying! But if it gets to a point where your mental health is deteriorating then there is nothing wrong with formula either. Also, because I wasn't effectively producing my MD said the calories in my milk were not enough for baby. The baby was CONSTANTLY giving hunger cues and not gaining weight. So again, keep trying because breast feeding is beautiful! But if yours and baby's health are worrisome then formula is a blessing.
@Becky biggest issue is keeping up with water 🥲
@Rachael hahaha slacker boob IM DYING but yes gf amen
@Kelsi yesss i’ve tried so many different flange sizes because I’m just trying to find the most comfortable one. My lactation consultant really help me out trying to decide which one might be best so I’m still kind of experimenting with different ones on my left boob😅😅😅
If you feed with one boob more than another, it will automatically produce more
