Hi everyone.

I have been BFing DS for nearly 7 months now. For the last few weeks my left & right sides have been working differently. Right does not fill up as much as the left side and they are now noticeably uneven in size. I think I may of been using the left slightly more than the right one which has caused the problem.

I am now always using the right to start the feed, but this isn't making any difference. DS does seem to have a preference for the left side and will feed for longer - I guess because it is fuller to start with.

Any suggestions on how I even them up again?

You can offer the smaller one more to stimulate the breast tissue. But you might just genetically have more lactational glands on the one side But they should go back to their previous size post bf.

This helped me when I was having that problem. I'm back to even now and still breastfeeding :)
