Ok, I have a question. We're bottle-feeding Riley expressed breastmilk, so I'm using my Medela Pump-In-Style about every 3-4 hours (except at night - I only pump during his middle of the night feeding if I'm sore/engorged. I usually am, though.)
Anyway! In a 20 minute session, I get 2-4oz from my right side. However, my left side is a big slacker, and I barely get 1oz per session. I've tried pumping 30 minutes, but I get very little extra, and it gets fairly sore. I don't have any plugged ducts, so I'm not sure what's up. Have any of you experienced an under-producing breast? DH thinks it's because I sleep on that side. But currently we sleep with Riley, so I can't exactly experiment with other sleep positions.
Thoughts?
