A big thank you to both of you!!!
Haven't been reading this thread much cos busy with 2 kids. But glad I read the info posted by the 2 of you.
<font color="ff0000">Shelled</font>, you shared info the other day about lopsided breast. For my case, it's unbalance milk supply. The right side can only produce like 1/2 or sometimes only 1/3 of that of left breast. So when pumping, I am heavily depending on my left breast. Though my baby seems to be ok to be nursed with the not-so-productive side (she did reject a couple of times after sucking for a few minutes).
Then, I read <font color="ff0000">Rach</font> posted something about squeezing hard on the breast like squashing a sponge. I tried it today and it works!!! My not-so-productive side has produced a lot more than before, though still haven't caught up with the good side. I should continue to massage, and get my hubby to help also, cos he has more strength
Lesson learnt - massaging your breast is important and it helps to increase breast milk. I haven't been massaging my breast at all since day 1, but from now on, I will diligently massaging my breast, even for a few minutes!
