I was having latching probs on one side (not a supply issue) and my GP suggested feeding off just the one side, apparently thats what she did for her kiddies. So if all else fails that is definitely an option. But I would try what the others have said with getting bubs to feed on the "empty" side first. Good luck ]]> Wed, 14 Feb 2007 12:03:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109915&title=where-is-my-milk#109915 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109902&title=where-is-my-milk#109902 Author: busymum

There was a reader letter in the Treasures mag this month (I think) from a woman who told how she successfully b/f her child from only one breast because of constant infections etc. in the other one, so if you have enough milk in the one side I wouldn't worry too much and just keep feeding from that side!! ]]> Wed, 14 Feb 2007 11:05:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109896&title=where-is-my-milk#109896 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109237&title=where-is-my-milk#109237 Author: Bizzy

expressing wont stimulate it half as much as baby will. it will be there, just cause you cant see it doesnt mean you are "empty". i'd agree with letting bub feed from that side first more often.]]> Mon, 12 Feb 2007 14:02:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109237&title=where-is-my-milk#109237 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109187&title=where-is-my-milk#109187 Author: nikkitheknitter

I'd always feed first from the side producing less milk and perhaps go back to it after the second side...? (Depending on babe of course - I know Hannah would have quite happily had a 3rd side if I'd let her!)

Good luck!]]> Mon, 12 Feb 2007 12:42:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109187&title=where-is-my-milk#109187 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109182&title=where-is-my-milk#109182 Author: busymum

Not sure what to do but here's a couple of milk-boosting ideas that may help? The expressing sounds like a good idea, what happens though if you put baby on that side? Baby suckle will always get out more than express. Do you always latch on one side and then the other? Maybe swap them? And you could generally increase fats in your diet for a while to see if that makes any difference. Coconut cream in a smoothie apparently is the way to go if you want to go down that road. The vegetable fats are easier for your body to deal with too.]]> Mon, 12 Feb 2007 12:04:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109182&title=where-is-my-milk#109182 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109179&title=where-is-my-milk#109179 Author: thunderwolves

funny question, but just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue.
I seem to have no milk in one boob!!
seemed to happen last week, the other one is fine milk for africa but nothing in the other one,
have been expressing the dry side to try and make some more but doesnt seem to be working, expressed this morning after not feeding all night and only got 20mls normally on my morning express i would get about 100mls.
I'm really not ready to give up feeding my bubby is only 4 months.
Any ideas??]]> Mon, 12 Feb 2007 11:37:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5665&PID=109179&title=where-is-my-milk#109179
