Mothers may find that their breasts are of different shapes and sizes and may wonder if there is anything wrong with having lopsided breasts. Their worries may worsen if they are also observing their pumping outputs and find that one breast may produce more or less than the other. The reality is that both breasts need always look the same, and may also not have the same output. Can lopsided breasts be evened out? The answer is not always clear.

It has been slightly over a year that Anne Lee has been working from home. As a breast ..read more
