Becky:

  I believe, (experience based- not reaseached) that the two breast make
different quantities of milk as you are seeing... my rough extimate is one is
usually 50% of the other.... Michael Woolridge believes, and this too is a
factor....that as soon as nursing commences...  both mother and infant favor
one side... in this case as one baby suckle more effectively, this side will
get greater stimulation....

   Is it possible to put both babies on the more productive side within one
feed?
