poor supply from 1 breast

Do you experience unbalanced supply of breast milk from both breasts (1 producing way lesser than the other)? I have 1 producing around 20-30ml each pump whereas the other can hover around 50ml and above. How can I stimulate the 'poorer' breast to produce more? My LO is on mixed feed (EP and DL at fixed parts of a day).

Hi! That’s perfectly normal. Heh. Same for me for both my kids. As long as you keep pumping and latching both sides, you’ll be able to maintain and increase the production of both sides, even if one side always has less

Thanks for the reassurance! Just a little down as that 1 boob doesnt seem to yield much despite latching, massaging, hydration and watching my diet! Wish it can improve and not be so 'lacking'.
