Yes. I just went through this with the birth of my 3rd child in September 2005. She preferred nursing from the left side and it was considerably bigger. I nursed her for 7 months until I became pregnant (yes, it was planned) and now they are the same size again since once you get pregnant your milk supply dries up pretty quickly so no more nursing.

Th more the baby eats the more milk your breasts will produce. If he is eating off of one more than the other, then it is very likely that it has more milk, and is bigger. Try alternating more during feedings and they might even up now. After nursing, they will probably go back to normal (well almost, they might hang a little lower) But that comes with the territory. Good luck!!

Trust me, your breasts will never be the same after having kids! Especially, after breastfeeding.
As far as the size difference, one is always bigger (usually the right one, if you're right handed) & the one he's nursing on is producing more milk, so that is why you're so uneven now... they should 'even out' when he/you are finished breastfeeding.... but going back to normal ~ that's a mother's dream!

the majority of women already have one side bigger than the other even if they have never breastfed before . . my left is visibly bigger than the other . . you will lose some of the size when you stop feeding but don't be surprised if they stay a size bigger than they were . . . happens to many (I now wear I DD cup when I used to be a C) . . . you can put your concern to your doctor at your next visit too

you should knpow the physiology of breast feeding , when you feed from a particular breast it empties and reduces in size and with subsequent feeds (as suckling is a stimulus for more milk production) the size gets bigger with accumulation of milk
hence i suggest your baby should feed from both the breasts equally or else one will be bigger and hurt more than the other

Maybe not.
There is very little datat to predict what will happen after breastfeeding. Nature, time, wear and tear take their course.
You may be relieved to know that many women have different sized breasts. It's very common.

Let's hope, for all our sakes, that your smaller breast eventually grows to the size of your larger, more "womanly", breast.
There is nothing like a world full of true women and true men, in all aspects.
Let's hope we can all become as gifted as we should be.

Yes, you are normal (but everyone already told you that). Do you have a lacating nure or la leche consultant to help you? My aunt was my helper and it's REALLY helpful and needed to have someone that has already done this before that you can trust (these message boards aren't all that reliable). Contact your local la leche, they should have free help in your area.

You should try balancing it out 5 mins on each side. There's nothing to worry eventually it will return back to normal when his had enough of it.
