Help me!! - November 7

My br___t are two different sizes. My left is so much smaller. I thought I nursed on the side just as much as the other. Is there anything I can do to even them up even just a little bit? I still br___tfeed.

You can express or pump the other, may or may not help. Don't worry, they'll go back to normal eventually, after weaning. It happened to me too.

Thanks. It is really bad all of a sudden. I can't wear anything tight fitting because it is very noticable (at least to me). Now that I finally have some I still can't wear what I want.

I'm sorry that's the way it is for you, but am glad to hear that I'm not alone! I'm the same as you. My left is so much smaller than my right side too! It really bothers me. It's really weird. It's like my left side just wasn't made for milking! I get some, but not near as much as my right. Also, my right side has like four streams coming out when I pump and only 1 or 2 streams come out on my left when I pump. They are just two totally separate b___sts! Wish they both were big. Pumping would be much better and looks would too!! Take care.

OMG I was just about to post this same question! My left side is so much bigger and I dont know what to do...I try to feed him more on the right side figuring more milk will be produced and it will get bigger but so far no luck :(

ditto lisa amy and jackie. rightie is way bigger than leftie. i nurse equally on both sides but just like amy, i get way more milk out of the right one. when i pump, i also have the same result of different amounts of streams. after a feeding, i can usually pump 3 or 4 extra ounces out of the right one and only 1/2 ounce out of the left. i'm also glad to hear that i'm not alone. my lactation consultant told me to keep nursing equally on both sides, that if it's meant to be the way it is, it won't change. anyone else heard that?
