This is from the work of Peter Hartmann and/or his associates.  I 
have it in my notes from one of his sessions at the LLL of CO/WY 
conference last year.  At the moment I also have my 23-month-old 
nursling on my lap or I would look up the reference for you!  What I 
remember is that virtually all women produce more from one breast 
than the other, and in the vast majority it is the right breast, 
regardless of handedness.

(I wondered if I am just unusual or if I have unconsciously 
cultivated greater production in my left breast by using it more, 
thus freeing up my right hand for the computer mouse!)
