Question for Breastfeeders

[DisneVillainsAreBetter]

Hi, quick question for breastfeeding mums.

both my babies have preferred my left breast so much so that my right one just gradually stops making milk and they stick with the left.

my DD did 6 months on both and then another 18 months on only left.

my DS did 9 months on both and has been on the left only for a while now.

The left is soo much bigger than the right one.
anyone with babies who preferred one side, did you even out again after you stopped feeding? The left must be at least two cup sizes bigger so I’m concerned it’ll always be a lot bigger even after I’m done feeding. I’d rather not look this way forever!

Try not to worry about it. There’s nothing you can do about it either way, and hopefully there won’t be much difference (if any) in a few years when everything has settled down.
Also, it’s perfectly possible to end up with slightly lopsided boobs even without breastfeeding 😬

My left boob produced less milk & wasn’t as easy to latch on.
Kept it going by pumping but the baby was mostly on the right.

They eventually evened out, both were a bit deflated for a while, but as my body came back after BF, my boobs improved.

I was more worried that my baby would have a wonky mouth!

Yes, it evened out within 5 months. Dc3 would only feed from one side and I'm not lopsided now.

Thanks all 😊

Mine are different sizes, but I don't think it's to do with BF. I did end up feeding from one side for a long time at the end, probably a year (BF for 2 years 10 months altogether). I think it's just the natural size difference I had with my breasts before I had my son. It's not noticeable to anyone but myself and husband, I'm pretty sure.

I know someone who only ever produced milk from one breast. She fed 4 children each well into toddlerhood on only one side. She looked perfectly proportionate.

I fed mine from both sides, but I’m the same size roughly as before kids, so I suspect everything will settle.
