What should I do if one is bigger and one is smaller during breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

Currently not weaned, have not been eating the other breast, what to do? Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment, what kind of help is needed: Careful doctor to clarify what to do

Doctor's answer:

You're nursing one breast more than the other. The one with less milk needs to be stimulated more by the baby, as milk production increases with more sucking; otherwise, the breast may not receive enough stimulation and could gradually become engorged. Another important point to note is: each time you feed the baby, let the baby suckle the less productive breast first. Since the baby is in a hungry state at this time, its sucking force will also be relatively stronger, which in turn provides a more effective stimulation for the breast. Additionally, massage the less productive breast.
