Yup!

Many (if not most) women find that one breast produces more than the other.
In my case, the L side was painful and with a full supply felt awful
(stretched, tight, veiny). As soon as I could, I'd wean off the weaker (L)
side, and nurse only on the "better" (R) side. Yes, I was quite lopsided (a
D cup vs a B cup) but the R side could handle the expansion, whereas the
other side couldn't. Now that all of my children have weaned, I'm about a D
cup on both sides (what is that all about?)

I think most women with anomolies can breastfeed just fine, until someone
tells them they can't!

Best wishes,

Hello, my name is Cathy.  I am a nursing student in Indianapolis, IN.  I am
posting this question to gain a better knowledge of breastfeeding with only
one breast.  I am currently in my OB clinical rotation. I want to  to know
if it is possible for a nursing mother to be able to provide adequate
nutrition to her newborn with only one breast?  The research I have read
thus far, states that yes, it is possible.  Any supporting information would
be greatly appreciated.  
This is of special interest to me, being that I have come into contact with
a pregnant woman who underwent a radical mastectomy prior to this pregnancy.
