Uneven?

Question

If I breastfed from only one breast will I get uneven and how uneven will I get?
Edit: Exclusively using one! The other has a flat nipple, clogged duct issues and is just generally annoying.
Little one is 3 months and flat nipple has been bruised and blistered from poor latch while she latches perfectly on other side.

Answer

You'll be fine. Start on the opposite side next time. Any uneven size won't be enough to notice or care

Answer

Well one side will have to hold the supply of 2 and the other will likely dry up. So I imagine it will be quite uneven.

Personally I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket. Having 2 is good incase something happens to 1. For instance my dd was a biter and my nipples would get infected so I could always depend on at least having another nipple that wasn'tgiving  me excruciating pain. I would work with a LC to fix the issues with the side that is giving you issues.

Answer

I had a flat nipple on one side and clogged duct issues. A nipple shield worked great. It took about five months for the nipple to come out and her to latch on that side but it made breastfeeding so much easier.

Answer

What about pumping one?

Answer

Im trying to even mine out. One is a champ the other is struggling! Yikes!

Answer

Exclusively using 1? Just to clarify

Answer

If you use only 1 breast and never use the other I imagine you'll get very uneven in the beginning but it could even out later I guess.
