BF boobs getting me down…excuse the pun!

Hi everyone,

I posted a similar question a few months ago but hoping for some more advice now things have got worse.

before I got pregnant my boobs were a 32E I am petite and having a larger chest is something I have always been self conscious of. When my milk came in my boobs ballooned to a 32HH which I absolutely hated but kept telling myself it was temporary. My left boob was always slightly bigger than my right and produced more milk. Following advice from here and friends I stopped pumping this boob and fed from the right first. However I am now 6 months postpartum and the difference in size is ridiculous. My right boob has returned to my pre pregnancy size (although much saggier!) where as my left has stayed a H cup. The size difference is extremely obvious and uncomfortable. The left boob is a big heavy weight whereas the right is fine. I am still having to wear bigger bras to accommodate the left. I am back in the gym and trying to feel confident but it is making me extremely self conscious. I know there are bigger things in life to worry about but every time I look in the mirror I just feel crap about it.

should I reside myself that now 6 months in the left boob is going to stay like this? It seems odd that it would suddenly go down if the right one already has. I am considering surgery once I finish BF although of course I would prefer not to. I can live with saggy boobs just not wonky ones! Has anyone else been in this situation and what was the outcome once you’d finished BF? Also is there anything else I can do aside from the above? Should I stop feeding completely on the left and let it dry up?

thank you

I'm not an expert @Sammie1990 but have you tried just feeding from the right boob for a few days?

You might want to check that with a BFC on one of the Helplines though Wink
