one-sided feeding - will this boob end up bigger?

I've ended up mainly feeding DS off the left boob for the last couple of months as a "new teeth trophy mark" has taken forever to heal and opens up again every time I try to feed off it, so given that DS is 11mo and doesn't have loads of BF now I just gave up expressing the right, as not loads was coming out anyway.

Will I end up with the left boob bigger than the right if I carry on doing this?

(Plus it's easier as we co-sleep mostly now, so when he wakes for a feed he's next to the left boob, whereas it's a faff to move him over to the right!)

I don't think it will end up bigger, but for me, my left side is a bit more saggy than my right side as I fed lying down on my side at night, always from the left.

ah, the joys of motherhood eh? I shall expect the same then. Not that they've looked upwards for some years now
