Erin, as you have said, this is pretty common. At this stage it might be more that the supply has settled down in the left side first, so it's not that the suppy in the left needs to be built up but that the right is yet to settle down. Feeding more from the left is still a good idea if this is the case, but it is important to feed or express for comfort from the right side to avoid mastitis. To do this, just empty enough milk out so that you are not uncomfortably full and lumpy.
Some mums find they are uneven throughout the whole time they breastfeed, but at this early stage there is still a good chance you will be even by the 6 - 12 week mark.
Great work on having feeding so well established already!!
