At the end of lactation, the size of the breast itself will come back to normal, or is it now necessary to do something?
Assure you that after the end of lactation, the breasts will equalize, I can not: this process is very individual. In my opinion, it is better to adjust now, without waiting for the end of lactation. After all, you expect at least another year of feeding. Most often, the reason for the asymmetry is that the baby is applied to the larger breast several times more often, so lactation there increases. The smaller breast for some reason is not very beloved, the baby is less likely to be attached to it, is capricious and refuses to suck milk. Thus, lactation in a smaller breast is reduced. What can be done? To change the situation to the exact opposite, to start applying the baby more often to a small breast, and to a large one (gradually!) - all less often, besides, try not to let the baby suck a big breast for a long time.
Complexity with proper breastfeeding of the child will represent the vagaries and unwillingness of the baby to suck the unloved breasts. Here you must connect all your imagination and patience to overcome these difficulties. When the baby understands that the mother made a firm decision and the whims do not work (mother does not give up, but continues to give less breast), then a slow but correct correction of the situation will begin. The algorithm is this: a child asks for a breast - give a smaller one. He sucks a little, asks another - explain that you can not give it (give in the evening or at night), and now - just this one. She does not want to eat from her any more - she hides her breasts and does her own business. Is she capricious? Again give a smaller chest. I want to adjust you to the fact that this is a lengthy process and you need to have a lot of patience, it may take 2-4 months to solve the problem. Good luck!
Why does it hurt in the chest?
I recently froze on a walk, and painful sensations appeared in my chest. Than they can be removed? How dangerous is hypothermia for a nursing mother? Olya Maternal over-cooling does not affect the breast condition in any way! It is only dangerous that a mother may develop a cold or something similar. What you are talking about is a stable myth that has nothing to do with lactation. Painful sensations could appear from the mechanical occlusion of the milky duct, and the cause of this phenomenon may be the following:
long walk (3 hours), during which the milk was not removed from the chest, so it stagnated;
a prolonged overnight break in feeding;
an uncomfortable bra or tight clothes;
a night's sleep on the stomach;
a child who does not know how to behave accurately at the breast, turns the head in the process, slips the nipple carelessly (pulls it away) - this worsens the removal of milk from different parts of the breast;
The presence of baby's nipples or bottles can also provoke seals in the chest.
How can you help in this case?
First, start to put the baby more often to the breast (you can even once an hour) so that his chin is directed to the painful area, during feeding, gently massage this place to make the milk flow more efficiently.
When breastfeeding, also consider what you eat. It is not necessary to eat more and spicy foods, before putting the baby to the breast. After all, these products can be very detrimental to the mother's milk. Consider this always, and be healthy! Otherwise, the pain in the chest and back you are provided, and from the breast - a bad milk for the baby.
