Not pumping very much from one breast

[saffrongirl]

Baby is 3.5 months old. I've pumped about twice per week while I'm at work, otherwise she eats straight from the breast. Usually when I pump, I get around 3-4 oz but today I only got 2 oz from the one side and that was really stretching it. I had to do breast massage and pump extra long to get that much. I only pump from one side since I'm only away from her for one feeding so I don't know how much the other side would have produced. I know the side I did pump from usually doesn't produce quite as much, but this seems pretty decreased.

Could it be that the baby eating would have gotten more milk than 2 oz or would she get pretty much equivalent to what I pumped? Does this seem like something I should be concerned about?

A baby will always get more milk than what the pump shows. There are women that produce fat, roly poly babies and never get a drop out with a pump. I would suggest pumping both sides at once to produce more milk.

I definatly think the baby is able to get more out than a pump ever can. I also always get about an ounce more from my left side than I do the right, I think it's normal for one side to be a bigger producer.
