Infant feeding

Breastfeeding: One breast bigger than the other.

Can anyone offer any advice or relate to this? I noticed this when breastfeeding my last DD too but my right breast is slightly bigger than the left. DD is less than 3 weeks old so slightly more noticeable (to me anyway!) at this stage as things continue to settle down. There is no favouritism and she feeds happily from both sides equally. Is it just that the right-side likes to produce more??
TIA

Yes. Most people have one more productive boob than the other. Mine is the right one too. Even now at 10 months it always feels bigger & fuller. It also takes longer to adjust than the other. Totally normal Smile

Thanks so much for the response; that has put my mind at rest. Good to know I'm completely normal! Smile

I had this and fed more off the small breast for a day, e.g. did 2 feeds off the small breast and 1 off the bigger one for a day. It fixed the problem.
