mine became lopsided at first. my left breast became sore at the first few weeks and perhaps also because it was flat. it looks symmetrical now but the right still produces more milk than the other one. i just had to make them symmetrical. i don’t think i would find a bra in the market that’s cup C for the right and cup B for the left…. LOL!

Not only do they have a side they prefer, and I find easier to nurse on, but when we started cutting down on feedings around 15 months with my youngest, we just started using the left side. And I nursed for 5 more months on just one side, the other side ignored and rejected It took over two months before my right side dried up, but eventually it got to where I only had milk on one side. And yes, it’s bigger. But, it always has been.

Hi Melodie – Here’s the crass little ditty I mentioned to you on Twitter that I wrote a few years ago when I became lopsided with my first baby’s nursing habits. Please feel free to delete this comment if you think it’s over the top on crass-ness! I’ve been too timid to post this on my own blog. Like you, I’ve got the Mighty Righty. So my song is an ode to Little Lefty. You sing the words to the tune of Three Blind Mice:

My left tit
My left tit
Oh what a sight
So much smaller than the right
My baby stopped nursing it months ago
It shrunk like a dick in cold water you know
Now I feel like a walking Picasso
My left tit.

I laughed as I read your post because I do the same thing to my hubby! This, of course, makes my 5 month old nursling very jealous…she prefers my right to my left due to differences in my physical anatomy. The right one *feels* better to her mouth.

As a result, my left got uncomfortably engorged for a while and I resorted to pumping–good for making cereal with–for relief. At night, she doesn’t seem to care too much which side she gets as long as she can stay within a reasonable distance (read: boob in mouth, body pressed as close to mine as humanly possible).

I’m glad to know I’m not alone with the lopsided boobs!

p.s. but mine are the same size, regardless of favouring. That size? Way too big. >:( .-= Melissa´s last blog ..The Pencil Test =-.

LOL! You are hysterical. I think you should weigh your boobs at the grocery store–and take pictures and post them HERE!!!

I have a preferred side at night–the right side, because I plunk my toddler in the middle of the bed when he wakes up to join us at night, so he doesn’t fall out of the bed (read: I do this with my toddler, not my itty bitty babies. Itty bitties who cobed are supposed to be on the outside of mom, or so I hear). Anyways, I can nurse from both sides without rolling over, but if he latches onto my top breast while sleeping, his teeth hurt my breast because his latch is lazy. So I prefer my bottom breast.

You’re not alone!

Haha, this totally cracked me up — I was pretty much an A- cup before my babe, and it took until my milk came in for them to plump up to a maybe B They still seem large to me though!
Anyhow, I think my right is usually a little bigger than the left, but I have a feeling they were like that before I had Gretchen.
I keep saying I’ll continue to BF til she’s 18 if it means I can keep my boobs, haha.
