I'm just hoping it evens out a bit when she weans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lopsided#post-393266 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:13:59 +0000 T-Mom 393266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mandb36: i was curious and looked it up on kellymom. It actually suggests adding another pumping session on just one side. I think that would probably really help, but what a pain that would be. Depends on how bothersome it is to you I guess :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lopsided#post-393265 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:13:56 +0000 MrsBrewer 393265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mandb36: Yea same here, I can tell when my shirt is off too, DH can tell too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lopsided#post-393250 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:10:17 +0000 Phillybaby2013 393250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have experience with this yet but I've been worried about this myself. I've always been uneven by at least a cup size and was hoping that when I got pregnant the little one would catch up. I'm 7 months and so far they're the same. We shall see once baby gets here and my milk comes in.... Fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lopsided#post-393235 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:04:19 +0000 BelugaBean 393235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Yep, I tried starting on the smaller side and pumping it afterward but it's still a lot smaller and not as good at milk production.</p> <p>@MrsBrewer: Yes, the right side was always bigger but now it just seems out of control with how much bigger. Before, it was only really obvious to me and only when I didn't have a shirt on (TMI?) but now it's obvious all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lopsided#post-393230 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 13:00:41 +0000 MrsBrewer 393230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this obviously isn't helping you at all, but were you lopsided before you started breastfeeding? I just wonder because I know I definitely am now, and I always wonder what will happen once I get pregnant/breastfeed </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lopsided#post-393226 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 12:58:22 +0000 T-Mom 393226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have LO always start on the smaller side? Other than that and pumping that side, I'm not sure what else you would do... I know a lot of people who tell me that they were basically feeding from one side the whole time!</p> <p>ETA: after finishing bf, I went back to exactly how I was before. Flat. I definitely had a dominant side, but it wasn't too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lopsided#post-393195 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 12:23:48 +0000 BelugaBean 393195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to bump this </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lopsided#post-392885 Mon, 12 Nov 2012 09:55:06 +0000 BelugaBean 392885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am extremely lopsided from breastfeeding. I've tried to pump extra feed mainly from the smaller side, etc but it's still really bad. I can tell just looking in the mirror that it's probably a 2-3 cup size difference at least. I'm okay with it if she's getting what's best for her though.</p> <p>Does anyone have any lesser known tips though? Will it at least be more even (even if it's not totally even since they've always been slightly different) after I wean? </p>
