Pumping will probably help a bit, but not completely. Pumpin g never does the thorough job of emptying out your milk ducts like your baby's suckling.
Plus in pumping you will build up milk supply in that breast so you will always have to pump to avoid having a plugged milk duct or two which can be very painful and give you flu-like symptoms. Unless you get your baby retrained, which if you go this route, the sooner the better.
Your baby is young enough to retrain. When she is hungry, give her the neglected breast first, and absolutely refuse the right one. Bind it up the right one pretty good so that she doesn't feel the usual soft comfort of it. Make the left one more attractive then the right.
At first she will fuss a lot probably, so be prepared for that. Eventually she will get hungry enough to take the less favored breast. Then about 2/3 thru the feeding you should switch sides. Eventually this tactic should balance your breasts out, and hopefully widen your daughter's menu choices, lol
The other resolution is that you could use toilet paper to pad the other side, lol (jk)
Good luck ↑ |
| Don't feel stupid i have the same problem. if your daughter favors on side over the other than it will be bigger because it is making more milk. My mom had the same problem with me and after she weaned me they went back to normal. then when she had my sister they were lopsided again. don't worry they should go back to normal or at least won't be a drastic difference. ↑ |
| I had the same problem and did exactly what "3 time nursing mom" did and it worked... given my daughter was pissed at me for about 2 days and I was stressed, however in the end it all worked out and my boobs weren't lopsidded anymore, lol! Good luck! ↑ |
