Breast feeding moms, what can I do to even out the size of my b*****s?

Question

My left breast is much bigger than my right. I am feeding my daughter on each breast evenly, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can I pump from my right breast to get it to produce more and try to even out the size? Thanks :)

Answer 1

You can nurse (or pump) a little more to that side - but the fact is you were probably a little lopsided to start out with (we ALL are). You can encourage the baby to favor that side, and if all else fails - extra breast pad! They will probably end up relatively even in the long run.  

Answer 2

I wouldn't worry about it.  I bet it's only noticeable to you and your baby.  You could try pumping.  It might work, but I think you're just looking very critically at your own body.

That said, if pumping and evening out your b*****s makes you feel better about yourself, go for it.  Personally, I would rather take a bath and paint my toenails, but do what works for you.

The uneven size may have nothing to do with how much milk you're making.  I always pumped more from the small side and felt like I had more milk there.

Answer 3

Lopsided! What can I do?

...When baby prefers one side, or when supply or breast size is greater on one side

Answer 4

You were probably like that to begin with. It's usually because your heart leans to left so it makes that side bigger.

Answer 5
