Asking for Self, Female, 32 years old, London

Please post anonymously.... I’m a feeding mother of 8 weeks old baby. Actually milk supply is fine at right breast but really low at the left side. Initially it wasn’t that low but now with time it’s becoming really problematic as my baby is not happy to latch from left side. I’m using breast pads and i can see the difference that from right side I need to change after every few hours but from left side it’s completely dry. What should I do?

Start feeding from the left breast , the more the baby sucks , the more the milk will come by let down reflex, it might be difficult in the beginning but needs effort and patience
