BF mommies- does your LO favor one breast over the other?

For some reason DS favors my left boobie over the right one and in turn Ive noticed a decrease in milk production from my right breast. Its not like he feeds off the favored one and is still hungry, which is good. He feeds off one boob and is satisfied but I would love him to drink from both. So here are my questions:

1-Is it bad if he feeds from only one? Is it bad for me? Like, will one boob be a lot bigger than the other lol

2- Is there anyway I can get him to want the other boob? Ive tried offering it to him when hes most hungry..sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.

Yep, I think it's pretty common. Here's kellymom's advice. There's a lot of advice and info on the causes. I do compression on that side sometimes and always start on that side for DD's middle of the night feed. Supposedly when the baby's sleepy they're less picky! It has gotten better and thankfully I don't notice a difference in size, but I definitely think it's possible.
