Needing a little advice
Hello blogosphere the little one is sleeping and I was planning to nap with him, but before I do I need a little help. I never realized there was so much to breast feeding and or pumping. I still have milk flowing, not much but that's my fault because I haven't been eating as i should. Sometimes I only eat once a day. But that is not the problem. My problem is my breast are beginning to look uneven ( so totally embarrassed to put this out there but i need help), well not look they are. Lefty makes more than Righty and I guess because of it Lefty is bigger. It's not noticeable outside of my clothes yet, ( at least to me it doesn't seem that way yet) but when I take off my clothes I can tell. And I don't want it to get to being noticeable on the outside. I've tried getting jace to feed on my right side first and longer than on the left. I've also tried pumping the right more than the left, but thus far nothing has helped and I don't want to stop bf, but I also don't want to be lop sided for the rest of my life either, so if anyone has any advice please send it my way. My boobs and I would greatly appreciate it !

I don't have any personal experience with this, but do you have access to a lactation consultant? I found mine invaluable when BFing my son.
Call the hospital and ask for them to put you in touch with a lactation consultant. Many women face numberous issues with breast feeding....its hard! But, persevere honey, you'll do great!
Hi ,
I agree with the advice above .
I think it might be something temporary.
Its not unusual to have uneven boobs ,it seems like the difference in yours is very small but if you didnt have a difference before then its good to show your midwife of gynecologist .
Breastfeeding is not easy at all and I have struggled a few times to keep going but my goal is to keep it up for six months according to the recommendations of the WHO I believe its worth it in the end .
It's totally normal for one breast to produce more than the other and be larger. Happens to me! The noticeable difference should eventually be less noticeable over time.
Absolutely normal for one to produce more and while you can see it on the outside, other people will never notice. Mine would switch back and forth every few months! You can contact a lactation consultant too, they are always helpful in my opinion.
All of the above!!! A LC will tell you that you are normal. And, here's Some TMI for you... I've always had one bigger. That's normal. Bfing makes it more exaggerated... My right one was my workhorse, ha ha! It's normal, promise!!! Xoxoxo go nap!!!!
Lefty was my big producer! ;) I could tell a difference in size without clothes, especially if they were engorged, but not with clothes. No one will notice. And they've more or less evened out now, about 5 months after I stopped pumping.
Agree with everything above. Also wanted to add that once you are done BFing they go back to the same they used to be. The unevenness is just the milk.
