Anyone else have a problem with their nurslings preferring one side? My son has a definite preference for my left side and because of it I am left with a huge discrepancy in size... we're talking a lovely full C and a saggy A. I swear I need a prosthetic for the right side to look normal.

I had a similar problem but in the latter part of nursing I somehow convinced him the other was just as milky , he accepted, so I am almost the same size in both of them now.

My last baby would only nurse the right side. So, I enjoyed lopsidedness for a long time. Wear one of those molded, padded bras and no one will notice the difference but you.

Mostly mine have preferred my left side, except the last one who prefers the right. My left side tends to be larger *anyway* (my WHOLE left side, including leg & foot - which is almost a whole half shoe size larger than the right) but the nearly-exclusive nursing definitely made a difference.

Yes, 1 of my children preferred 1 side to the other. I always tried to get him to take at least a little from the other side. He eventually started using both sides. My husband said one side was probably chocolate and that's why he liked it more!

With my very first baby, my doctor told me to nurse her 10 minutes on one side and then 10 minutes on the other side. I did that from the very first day. I tried to alternate which side I started with, too. By doing that, she learned to drink the same amount from each side and I didn´t have a problem with being lopsided.
