Less milk with second baby?

Troubleshooting/Tips

I had my second child March 4th, and I’ve not leaked once. With my first (April 2024) I leaked milk at every fuss or just at any given moment for the first few weeks. I had a very traumatic birth with her and she has issues latching, but I could still make a couple oz in a day at my peak of production, but she was basically entirely formula fed for what it’s worth. With this baby he latches beautifully and is always ready for a nipple, but I very much don’t think I’m making as much milk as I did with my first. My breasts were removed in 2021 for transition reasons i never expected to make milk in the first place but I’m confused why i am not at least making the same amount as i did with her despite having a perfect birth this time. I thought with following babies you were supposed to make more milk?
