I have always been a bit 'unbalanced'on the nork front . Now dd is 1 she is only feeding bedtime and first thing. She seems to be feeding for much longer on the smaller one and pulls off the other one after about 5 mins.

I have 2 questions really. Will I end up even more wonky after this?!!! Is it possible for one to dry up and the other still have supply?

Bump for you. FWIW, my bf counsellor told me that if a woman feeds from only one side, she will end up lopsided, with the side she fed from bigger. I didn't bother saying this to her, but I fed from my right hand boob alone for 10 months with ds, and the left hand one is bigger! Anyway, perhaps someone who actually knows will see your thread now.

Just you and me with this problem then? A little one-sided...

Hi, I don't know anything for sure but I think that as your DD is 1 you will be producing milk as she feeds and not storing it in advance(which is what happens when you first start breastfeeding, and the storing makes your breasts bigger). To me this suggests that your breasts will remain as they are now and that both your breasts would produce milk, she just prefers one over the other.
