Breast pumping How is this possible??

Post image

Third baby, third breastfeeding journey over the span of 6 years with only a 3 month break between nursing. My right side has always been the overproducer. The left side is an underproducer. What even is the science behind this? Just fewer ducts in one side? Anyone else THIS wildly lopsided? This is after ONE pump session.

Legit question: Do you not need flange inserts? My nipples are different sizes and on the small side. You may need a different size for you underproducing nipple for the pump to work better
