Uneven supply - what can I do to balance up?

5 replies

DD is a month old, and EBF. I seem to have developed an uneven supply, with visibly different sized boobs! The left side looks easily a cup size bigger than the right....

What can I do to balance things up? I'm being really careful to swap the starting side at each feed, but can't think of anything else - any suggestions?

DD is getting plenty of milk on all the signs so this is definitely a problem for me rather than her though, I'm pleased to say!

I couldn't do anything about it. They do go back to the same size when you stop.

There are some suggestions here on Kellymom . However, it is still quite early days - many women find their supply settles down around three months, which might mean things will even up even if you do nothing.

Thanks, all helpful. I don't recall this happening with DS! I'll check out Kellymom too.

It happened with DS1 so I was determined it wouldn't with DS2, used the one with less supply more, started with it- it made no difference and it worked out the same. At least I knew they would both return to the same size.
