Hi mummies, is it normal? My right one is not working! Left one around 80-90ml.. max is 140ml. I do not wish to stop my breastfeeding journey so soon! Anyone can help? LO is 7mo now. She will cry for more before sleep but I just comfort her to sleep. And she will keep waking 2-3hourly at night not sure is it hungry?

Some moms have unequal supply because baby prefers to latch on one particular side. If your baby is thriving well within the charts and is happy and content, then your supply is sufficient. It could be that your other breast has alrer compensated for the other one. The only drawback is one breast will be bigger than the other :-) Usually at 7 months baby can sleep continuesly for 5 hours without feed. It could be that your baby wakes up 2-3 hourly just for comfort. Have you tried making her cry it out? Leave her without you carrying her or patting her to sleep. You can try this if you can bare her crying. If not, just try to be close to her in the beginning and slowly leave her. It's also about them getting used to this regimen. But as for breastfeeding, keep on doing it. Don't give up but make sure your lo is growing within the normal limit :-)
