Question 1

why my baby have left rib larger than right?

Accepted Answer

Nobody's symmetric: I guess the question is, how much bigger? Sometimes the ribs are "bell shaped" a little, and one rib may be a little more prominent than the other. That's totally normal. If there is a notable size difference, it might be something to bring up at the next well check. If the difference is changing day to day, then get it looked at now.
