9.5 months and increasingly lopsided!

DS has always had a strong preference for my left side - although he's always taken both sides almost every feed - and as he is dropping feeds, he is increasingly dropping them from my right, leaving me looking like Dolly Parton on one side and Alexa Chung on the other Shock

It feels like a bit of a vicious cycle over the past month or so, even when I offer the right first there seems to be so much less milk in there compared with the left that that he only goes for a very short while then feeds properly on the left side.

We've had a great bfing journey and I was actually thinking about aiming for extended feeding, but as vain as this is, I can't go many more months looking this odd Confused

Most of the advice online seems to be aimed at the earlier days, do you have any tips for now and when I go back to work at 12 months and feed even less? I'm reluctant to feed constantly through the day, as DS has been such a boob monster and we're only just managing to get to a less full-on feed pattern, but I'll do what it takes!

Bumping in case anyone has any ideas or success stories, I tried pumping on the right after a feed yesterday and got under 5mls after 15 minutes, used to get 50mls+ per side Hmm
