Hey, does anyone else have different sized boobs?
This is my second baby and second time breastfeeding and I'm so much more squint this time. I don't know what I'm doing to cause it, any advice on how to fix it? Thanks in advance

Do you mean one boob bigger than the other? If so, you need to ensure you're breastfeeding from each breast equally. I used to wear a wristband to remind me which boob I fed from last and make sure I alternate.
I've gotten really lazy with that now tbh.

Not necessarily FTM, mine aren't the same anyway and they're more squint now with milk

Plus babies have a preference quite often

At around 8-9 months when I was co sleeping, the boob on the side DS slept ended up bigger. I think as he started cutting down or I was away from him more in the daytime, the other one got smaller, but his night feeding kept one at full flow. I was pumping at the time and supply was a bit lopsided as well, but still plenty overall.

Just try to keep alternating and I’m sure it will even out.

Oh should say, I’ve since weaned and they match again, so don’t worry about been left with uneven boobs.

Some babies prefer a certain breast, dd3 did thus i had one breast bigger than the other until I finished breastfeeding

Ftmf30 love the idea of a wristband how simple & yet i never thought of it
