hey all,

i have been breastfeeding for almost 2 weeks now, at first when my milk came in both of my breasts were full and engorged.. now that it has settled in, my left breast isnt producing as much milk as my right.

i feel that i am feeding off each breast equally, well i was.. my right breast still fills up and becomes really firm but my left is always soft and significantly smaller.. still produces milk but not as much..

i have read that it is quite common and that i should always feed off the smaller side first to boost production and then top up on the right side and express a little after the feed has finished. have started to do this but not sure if it will work or not.

i need some advice on wat to do. is rather embarrassing with the size difference. will look at calling a lactation consultant tomorrow i think.
