One breast making a lot more milk than the other?

One of my breasts makes a LOT more milk than the other. My left breast makes like 2 ounces while my right makes only one. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to make the right make more milk? My left breast is also a little bigger, but not much. Ugh, I wish there was more common knowledge about breastfeeding, and pumping exclusivley for a preemie. That way I wouldn't feel so stupid.

this is normal. continue to pump both breasts regularily.
remember it takes a good 6-8 weeks for your supply to be fully established.
