Leaking has no relationship to how much milk a mother is making. Once your milk supply is well established, leaking normally diminishes or ceases. Some mothers experience leaking longer than the others.

When I pump I find that one breast produces more milk than the other. Is something wrong?

Every woman's breasts are a little different. Basically, since human body is not symmetrical, naturally breasts aren't symmetrical either. It is common for one breast to have more milk- producing tissue than the other. In fact, sometimes a baby will prefer the more productive or the less productive breast. This is perfectly normal.

My breasts no longer feel 'full' when it is time for a feeding. Is my milk supply decreasing?

When a mother's milk supply adjusts to her baby's needs, the feelings of fullness or engorgement she may have felt earlier will subside.
