One side drying up?

[babycaps]

Anyone ever only feed one side and let the other dry up?
M really doesn't like feeding from the right side and I get about 2oz from that side when I pump and about 4 from big lefty.  I'm really considering letting Tiny Righty dry up since I only have 2-3 more weeks of nursing before I am down to only nursing first thing in the morning and night.
Anyone ever only nurse from one side and let the other one go?

I had a bout of Mastitis at 5-6 weeks PP which turned into 2 abscesses. My supply tanked on the left side to the point I was only pumping drops. By the time the 2nd abscess was discovered I had been trying to boost supply for a month (which obviously wasn't working since I had an undiagnosed abscess). DD naturally began taking much longer on the right side (the good side) to boost my supply on that side. I decided to shut the left side down because I was terrified of all the drama from the abscesses.

DD nursed on only my right side from about 3 months-current and I never had supply issues. We are now 14 months PP and I'm not sure yet when we'll officially wean, but happy to say it all worked out I'm horribly lop-sided though and had to buy bigger cup size bras since my right side swelled even bigger once I shut the left side down. Hope that resolves a bit after weaning!

Yup. You just wrote my exact situation! M (my LO) is content to nurse on only the left side. My right side produces 2-3 oz a day and I'm pumping it to donate currently. My sanity improved a lot when I quit fighting LO to latch on the right side and just let him nurse all the time on the left. I think these issues started when I was EPing the right side about 4 days after he was born because my nipple was so messed up the pain was excruciating. I went through a phase of being upset about the lopsidedness, but I am mostly fine with it now. I am building about two days worth of bm as a freezer stash before I donate... just in case something temporarily goes wrong with my left side. Having that backup will give me peace of mind.
