Breastfeeding

Pumping amount different on each side?

My son is in the NICU and a few days ago, he was able to start nursing once a day.  He wouldn't even latch on the right side, only the left.  Today I finally got him to latch on the right side (yay!) and am able to nurse him at his designated feeding times anytime I am there.  

I've noticed since I started feeding him from the left that my supply on the right side is not keeping up with the left.  For instance, I just pumped and had 2 oz on the left and not quite 1.5 oz on the right.  Is this normal/ok?  I'm worried I've messed up my milk supply.  Will getting him to eat more on that side help?  Thanks!
