Uneven Breasts EBF
Hi y’all. I currently have a 3 month old who definitely prefers one breast over the other and it’s gotten to the point where my left breast is shriveled and makes probably an ounce of milk a day, while my right breast is 5 times the size it should be and makes all of the milk for my baby for the day.
It is almost embarrassing to wear anything other than huge t shirts and I tried pumping to get my supply back on my left side but I’m not seeing any change and he refuses to latch onto it because it’s usually empty ):
Anyone experience this? How do I even them back out 🤣

Pumping for long periods of time on the no milk breast. Put the massage setting on as high as you can. Do it for 20-30 minutes. When milk flows, use the extract setting then put it back on the massage setting.
Start all feedings on the smaller side for 1 day, then see if there’s any difference the next. And repeat. Make sure to release your other breast so it doesn’t clog. 😊
This is me too rn. I've noticed in the last week that one breast is definitely larger. I think it's fairly common among bf Mommas, unfortunately. I'm also trying to boost my supply on my lazy boob lol good luck!

Oh gosh that’s my 8 month old, 90 percent of the time she only nurses from the right, she’ll try the left and then just mess around
