A member asked:

I breastfeed my baby. & lately my right breast gets engorged and my left stays normal. left looks like a size b and a big c for my right. what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Switch breast: You want to start your feeding with the small breast then the larger one. However, this is completely normal. It can happen and is no reason to stop or be concerned. It may not solve the problem. Some women pump the larger breast to drain it.
