Having pumped when away from home for my 17 month old the difference in production/fullness was quite noticeable 6ozs versus 2ozs in my morning pump to comfortable. I pumped until he was about 14 months and there was definitely an oz or mor difference between sides. In my experience most non-pumping mothers notice one side feels "overfull" sooner than the other if they are way from their baby. I have actually been considering starting to pump again as my ds is beginning to show some signs of excema around his mouth which I'm beginning to wonder is related to allergy overload - he normally has one bottle of cow's milk at childcare (he reacts very badly to soy). So I can see a valid rationale for pumping at this age. I have had a couple of mothers who appear to be sensitive to calendula i.e when they stopped using it the soreness went away altho it may not have been the calendula but the baby 'slipping' on the nipple.
