Parenting after 35

Depressing realization

Though my boobs are gigantic(32G), they've always been symmetrical and relatively perky. Sadly, BFing seems to have deflated righty. It now hangs about a half an inch to an inch below lefty. Sad

  • LOL! You are still a new mom & I'm sure things will change. Maybe baby just feeds more on one side?

  • My previously perky C's are now reduced to deflated A's with two full years of bf'ing out of my life :(  Anyhow, it is very normal to have what I used to call 'superboob' where one side produces more milk than the other.  Hopefully you'll even out post bf'ing. 
  • OMG!  I have superboob!  Righty produces about 5-6 oz when I pump, Lefty gives 2-3 oz.  Although Lefty did surprise me with a super-squirt at poor Jackson in the middle of the night last night.  I was half asleep and realized he was not latching on, I looked down and the poor guy had a steady stream of milk squirting him the face!

  • I'm totally laughing at that Shelley. Sorry!!! Embarrassed

    And I just hope my former 36C's return to that size from the 36DD they're at now!  Since I'm NOT breastfeeding, I have no clue if I'm stuck at this size or not!

    Ditto here ... I have to say my girls have deflated down about 2 cup sizes, i'm sooo sad.  They were all nice and VERY perky just over 2 months ago too!  :o(

  • i used to have great size B perky boobs- could go braless if i wanted b/c they stayed up pretty good - yet, were big enough to be "substantial".

    now i have D's... that sag horribly. I'd take B's back any day!

  • Are you serious???? 32G?  I never heard of that!

    I'm serious. Always thought I was a 32DD, then got measured a few years ago and discovered I had been wrong since I was 14.

    And yeah, the disparity is all down to lefty being a rock star and always being full, but it's still sad to look at.  I'd like to contemplate a reduction/lift once we're done having kids but am terrified of surgery(I didn't go med-free for M's birth because I'm a hippy or super tough, I just have a healthy fear of needles and knives).

    Now am off to invest in new pads lest lefty decides to imitate Shelley's super-soaker.

     Might I suggest Johnson and Johnson.  They are contoured, super absorbent and have a little indentation for the nipple so it should move less.
