and my left side produces way more than my right. Is this normal?
I have never pumped this much before and it was about this time I stopped BFing DD2 so this is all new to me.
DD3 has a tooth now and she bit me twice so I am not BFing her except for during the night which I hope she starts sleeping through the night SOON!!!!
TIA for any advice or insight!

I too had one side that was a much better milk producer than the other -- honestly, I think it was whatever side felt more natural to hold my baby on and I unconsciously "kept her on" that side more, which led to that one producing more than the other. Goofy isn't it??
I hated getting bitten, those little teeth are stinkin' SHARP. When I did I would say sternly, "NO BITING." and remove her so she knew that if she bit, she wouldn't get to eat for a little minute. Thankfully I only got bit a couple of times. A dear friend of mine had a serious "barracuda baby" and weaned earlier than she had planned because she was getting seriously chomped on. Hang in there!!

My DS would breastfeed more out of my left breast than my right, and when I pumped it worked this way as well.

It's totally normal to have a weaker side. My right side produces way more than my left. By the way, I hear you on the sleep thing. I would be thrilled with just 5 or 6 hours right now.
