to hate my awful boobs

7 replies

I've been breast feeding for nearly 8 months now. My milk production in my right boob is so bad and my left boob is amazing. I have always fed my son more on the left and this has resulted in my boobs being a whopping 4 BRA SIZES different. They look absolutely bloody ridiculous and to top things off, my abusive ex who I am no longer with made them seem even worse by commenting on them. So I'm single, with hideous boobs (they look weird, so weird) and don't know how to fix them.

Can anyone help? SadSadSad

If it's any help at all, in my experience they went back to normal after I stopped breastfeeding. I was the opposite way round, the right one worked better than the left.

I can't help, but I was lopsided when breast feeding. I stopped after a year which my daughter and I felt easy - both ready to stop at that point.
From memory my boobs sorted themselves out soon after I stopped breast feeding. Try not to get too upset about it. I'm sure people in the street don't notice at all.

I breastfed my daughter until she was nearly two but only fed her from my right breast for the last six months. I'm not sure why I did it but it meant that the right one was far larger. They evened out as soon as I finished feeding.

Oh my lovely, I'm sure they will settle once you stop feeding, especially if they weren't as uneven before. Please don't let his comments affect you and I'm sure they're much better than you think.
My boobs have no resemblance to what they looked like when I was breastfeeding.
Focus on the amazing thing you have done for your child for 8 months! That is an amazing achievement and your boobs have served their purpose well Grin

Same here, one was hugely more productive than the other one and subsequently much bigger than its next door neighbour boob (can’t remember which because it was ten years ago). I was very self conscious and sometimes wore a padded insert in the smaller boob if I was wearing a more fitted top. They both evened out again within a year or so after stopping feeding.
Please don’t fret OP all will be well

Mine are at least 2 or 3 sizes different all the time OP 🤷‍♀️ pad one side up and don't worry about it. I've had this problem since I developed breasts and it got worse with each pregnancy. Loads of people have one bigger. Infact everyone does just to different extents. They will probably even up a bit after you are finished breast feeding. My dp couldn't care less, he loves them 😂. Your ex is a tit.

I have this OP even when not pregnant. My smaller boob was so much worse at milk production than the bigger one. Nothing I could do....bit of padding and cracked on with life.
