Should I wear a bra to bed also? They are tender so I dont know if I should leave them alone or keep them tight...I dunno. Also is it possible to make one breast increase in size to match the other one? The baby and I have a preference for the left side it seems easier to use and she grasps the nipple better for some weird reason. (Its not a full cup larger or anything)

Whatever is most comfortable for you! But overly tight can cause problems -I don't mean supportive I mean binding.
The side preference can be caused by a lot of things, no breasts are the same so it could just be easier to get the milk out of one for some reason. Also you don't hold the baby in the exact same way on both sides. And some babies have mild neck problems from being squashed for so long.

Yes, you have to wear a bra to bed or your nipples will be at your knees by the time she is one.
I like soft bras. That was just my preference. You could buy one of each and see which you like better. Also, we are entering the summer so keep in mind sweating. I have some bras (post-breastfeeding) that are heavier and I sweat in them. So think about that when you are shopping. I like the Lane Bryant maternity bras. (Order 1 at a time and you get a % off your next order).
Your breasts are just different sizes because of her preference. That will ease when she becomes comfortable on both sides (which will probably happen during her first growth spurt). If you worry about it, start her on the smaller side for every feeding and then switch to the larger side. You can also pump to help even them out. But trust me when I say that you and maybe your husband are the only ones who can tell the difference.
Good luck! Congratulations on the breastfeeding! Keep it up, it's the very best thing for your baby!

It is best to wear soft cup bras with no underwire. You can wear a bra to bed but you do not need to.
It is normal for one breast to be larger than the other. Even with not nursing your breast are usually not the same size. You probably notice it more than anyone else would.

Don't do anything tight, that would bind your breast. But do keep them supported at all times. Go and get fitted for a bra, the cost is well worth it.
