My milk supply for both side is uneven. Right side is 4-5oz and left side is 1oz or less than that. I have tried to nurse my LO at my right breast first than only change to left for 2 months. But until now still the same. My LO has less and less patient on my right breast. What should I do?

You can also try: - nursing on the lower supply side twice as often (i.e. nurse on the left side for two feedings, the right for one feeding) - pump the lower supply side for 5-10mins after some feedings - add in an extra pumping session each day for the lower supply side You can refer to this article for more information: http://sg.theasianparent.com/causes-breastfeeding-women-milk-one-breast-can/ It is quite a common issue. Try having the addition pumping session if your baby is getting impatient. If it doesn't really bother you and your baby is getting enough to drink, you can actually just leave it be. Don't be too stressed over it. Hang in there!!

How can I best help my wife breastfeed? She has some problems with one breast and loses confidence when she tries to feed with that breast. However I know it's important she uses both breasts to prevent swelling or mastitis.

Thanks a lot for the advice. However the other breast doesn't really expel a lot of milk unless pumped by hand. Any tips?

My wife's nipple is recessed and our son has trouble latching on... What can I do to help? Has anyone ever considered helping to "suck" on the nipple to help it come out?

Same situation here as Chin Yin. Any tips on how to suck the breast? I'm worried about hurting her

I think I might be coming down with the flu. Any recommendation on the type of medication I can take that would not affect breastfeeding?

My 2 mths lo is now having flu n light coughing. Should I bring her to PD or just continue BF her? BM = Natural Medicine?

As a mom of 2 kids, I only let my babies latch when they were still infant whenever the have slight fever and cough or colds. Synthetic medicines aren't really advised for babies under 6 months unless the case is really worse.

Hi mummies, would like to confirm whether my pump flange is too big for me? I'm using Spectra 28mm flange (default). I'm not sure whether i should get a 24mm. TIA!

Thanks everyone for your input! I bought 24mm just to try out, and it helped me yield 90ml more than usual. My nipples dont feel as sore too.

Can you get PMS when your menses is not back & is fully breastfeeding (latch & pump)? I'm currently 4 mths PP, lately I am feeling pretty moody. Gets irritated easily & feels depressed.

Thank you. i guess I'm suffering slight PPD.. i think i had it when baby was abt 1-2 mths old. then i started to feel better, but lately it hit me again :( i think im more prone to depression since im more of a negative mindeset person.. hope my baby doesnt hv this bad genes of mine.
