Hi Tanvi. The amazing thing about breastfeeding is body produces milk on demand that is, the more the baby sucks, the more the milk flows into that breast. You said that she is not taking right side milk and that's why the milk is lesser on the right side. May be she is not comfortably adjusted to the position of the right side. You might have to try out different positions simultaneously playing with her so that she starts drinking from it... else the left breast will end up hurting due to continuous feed. Also till the time she takes in the right one, keep on manually draining out the right breast milk so that the old milk flows out and fresh milk keeps on coming. Hope it helps.

Hi Tanvi. Try expressing the milk using a breastpump. It will help manage the milk produced. And try different positions for feeding the baby.. you can consult with a lactation consultant to know about different positions and find which suits you better. Probably the baby might not be latching properly on the right side and hence the issue. All the best!! Happy parenting!!!
