lopsided boobs!

Oh dear.  I've been bfing only overnight and weekends, b/c the baby is in daycare and it got to be too much for me.  Well, I guess I have been lax about switching sides now that I'm spreading out the feedings--my right boob was always an underachiever, and I go to the left when I want to be sure he's getting enough anyway.

I must have left out righty a few too many times, because this morning when the baby latched on there it KILLED, and he fussed like he wasn't getting much.  I look in the mirror and I'm about two cup sizes bigger on the left.

Great.  Now I'm lactating on only one side!   I was hoping to at least partially BF for another month or two, but this might be a sign. 

Or maybe I should get one of those little silicone bra inserts for the small side?  Maybe no one will know the difference!

yeah, lopsidedness sucks... they both make teh same amount of milk though

I wish both of my bbs were like righty - it's a nice "C"

I have the same problem and I've even been consciously trying to nurse from my right. It just doesn't produce like the left and the left is MUCH bigger. I hate it. I have no answer for you, but it does seem like nobody notices it as much as I do.

I would put him on the right first for a while and see if it evens out!  That said, though, the size of the boob does not seem to be correlated to milk production for me.  Righty is a squirter and often seems a lot bigger, but every time I pump I'm surprised to see that lefty is quietly stealing the show with at least half an ounce more of production.
