Do milk production levels in both breasts differ during lactation? One more than the other?

Patient's question:

Why do the milk production volumes of the two breasts during lactation differ? Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Most women have two breasts of different sizes, which is often related to breastfeeding. It is recommended to first feed the baby from the breast that produces less milk to stimulate it. Additionally, letting the baby suckle more can also increase milk production. It is advisable to avoid eating raw, cold, or spicy foods, as these can reduce milk secretion.
