Hi everyone,

I am hoping someone may be able to give me some advice. My DD is just on 7 months old and we have recently dropped to four feeds a day plus solids. DD has been feeding much better from the left side and now my left breast is engorged while the right breast is not producing as much milk. Aside from looking absolutely ridiculous - I am worried about my supply drying up on the right breast.

I am going to try to feed her mostly from the right side to try to build up the supply...but am now worried about mastitis if I don't feed much from the very full left breast.

Can any please offer some advice....I'm a bit worriewd and feel VERY self concious and my lop-sided boozies. :confused::o
