Is it okay for women with large breasts on the small side after giving birth?

Question
Hello doctor,
I was born 14 days old. Currently, one side of her breast is small and soft, but she still breastfeeds normally, and the other side is full of milk. So the doctor asked me to ask if the woman's breast is large and the side is small after giving birth, is it okay? Does the soft breast lose milk? What should I do doctor? I thank you.

Hello friend,
With the question "Is it okay for women with large breasts on the side after giving birth? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
After giving birth to breastfeed, there are still cases where the mother has a large breast and a small breast. The cause is often caused by: The baby sucks unevenly on both sides, or the mother's habit of lying on her side to breastfeed, there are also cases where the milk glands on both sides are not uniform.
So you should go to the doctor to check and possibly intervene more physical therapy. However, you should balance breastfeeding on both sides and avoid lying on your side according to the habit of feeding on one side (if any). In case your baby likes to breastfeed on one side, you have to see why and practice breastfeeding on the small breast first or you can use a stimulating breast pump after feeding.
If you still have questions about women with large and small breasts after giving birth, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
