So about two month ago William randomly sttn. I woke up with my left boob throbbing and engorged and the right one was all shriveled up and tiny. Even since then my right one has been getting smaller and smaller. I offer the right side first every time even. I'm trying to even them up but it won't happen. So, for those of you that have had this issue at all, has your breast evened out more once you stopped bfing? Also, how can I wear a swimsuit? They are now about a cup and a half different in size. I don't want to be like this forever. Sorry, I'm whiny today.
I'm going to look for those chicken cutlets that make your boobs look bigger and just wear it in one side. Maybe that will help.
lol!!! I need to find something. It makes me self conscious.
MB, don't worry. Colin hasn't STTN either.
actually William has been for about a month now! I did a few nights where I waited 10 mins from when he woke up to go get him and that was all it took. I wish I did it sooner. I hope Colin sttn soon for you!
My righty dried up around 5 months - k just refused it and when I pumped I barely got a few drops out of that side. When I stopped bfing at 7 mnths they evened out but now they are huge and fat again.
Aw!! Mine were like this for a while. Now that he's weaned they are the same size. Don't worry, it's temporary! In the meantime I would totally rock some chicken cutlets in your swimsuit
I stopped back in October and I had the same problem it sounds like you have. They have evened out for me. I don't have huge boobs anymore like when I was nursing, but they aren't loop sided either.
I don't have this problem, because my baby has never even remotely STTN, but I can't help but giggle imagining you putting raw meat in your bra.
hahaha same here. i just went to nordstrom to get a couple new bras because mine don't support at all and my boobs are still ginormous. i expected them to be different sizes but theyre fairly even still. maybe you can get some padding and a bra that lets you put some in (heh heh) there just on that side?

Mine are the same, SmellyCat! I'm still nursing though. It gives me hope they'll go back to normal someday. If they don't, I might need some kind of corrective surgery, because lefty is an overflowing D cup, and righty is like an A.5. It's awful and embarrassing. I pad the right side now as best I can.
Tonight I got these pads that can go in your bra or swimming suit at target for $6. I put it in my bra thinking it would be way too big but then my left boob still looks a little bigger!!! It is much more even looking. I'm going to try it out with my swimming suit tomorrow to see of it works. When I was googling around trying to see of they go back closer to the same size, most people said they got pretty close to the same size after breastfeeding. There's hope ladies!!
