Infant feeding

Wonky Norks - No advice needed, just the random ramblings of a sparrow...

Possibly tmi, but just looked in the mirror whilst I was getting dressed, and the side I have stopped feeding from (he bit me, it took ages to heal and now he doesn't seem to be able to get it working properly again, so I gave up) is sooo much smaller than the other

I knew feeding was having some sort of effect on size, but I kinda thought that while the hormones were still there, they would stay the same size regardless... It does give me hope that I will go back to a pre-preg E/F when I stop feeding.

A bit though that with all my whinging about awkward norkage - it looks very small to me now! I hadn't realised quite how much I'd gotten used to seeing them huge.

Feeling very selfconsciously wonky now

I did over 3 months of feeding only from one side when I was struggling early on. Even though I am using both sides again now, I'm still wonky (but very small and wonky)

I can hear the conversations now with thems that want me to stop feeding - we have had "it'll be easier for him whilst he is younger" "he'll settle better and sleep through" "he'll put on more weight" "you'll stop losing so much weight"... you can see it now "It'll stop you being wonky"

I had trouble feeding from both sides, and I was wonky too. They have evened up now (DD is 4), but unless I manage to feed from both sides again this time, I expect I will have lopsides again!
