Breast size and breast feeding

Hey ladies, I’m breastfeeding my 4 month old and my left breast gets full and is noticeable bigger (like 2 cup sizes) than my right breast which has stayed the same size as they were pre - pregnancy. I feed him from both breasts, they both produce a good milk supply, but only the left one fills up and feels heavier. I tend to feed more fro the left breast to try to make it look less obvious in tops. I breast fed my first child for 2 years and never had this problem. Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this?

I've had that problem with both of my children.  I don't think there is any good way of getting around it.  It helped to use an electric breast pump, if your okay with putting the milk in a bottle for him.  I think its pretty normal, but I know it can be so fustrating sometimes.

I did notice that one seemed more fuller and a tad bigger when I breastfed my daughter, but not by 2 cup sizes. I have heard that it does happen to some moms though.

I've never exprienced it to that extent but based from my experience I noticed that when I favored one breast over the other then that breast tended to fill more quickly
