I only latch my baby almost 2 months now on my left breast. My right breast is too huge for baby to latch on properly and my nipple always become sore & painful. I have tried various positioning but nothing works. Does the supply gets low on 1 side if i dun pump or latch as frequently?

Yes- reduced stimulation will decrease supply. Consider calling Thomson ParentCraft Centre at 6251 4090 to make an appointment with a lactation consultant for more indepth advice: I'm wondering if you may improve the latch, or nipple soreness with an adjunct eg nipple shield?
