Chrissy Teigen Jokes About Her Post-Breastfeeding Boobs
Chrissy Teigen seems to love sharing her pregnancy and post-baby stories with her social media fans: in the past she’s revealed her stretch marks to help other women improve their body image, shared her journey through infertility, and the process of getting pregnant with both daughter Luna and her second child, on the way now, and she discussed her experience with postpartum depression. (Fans seem to love it too: her openness is refreshingly real and resonates with women pretty much everywhere.) And she just shared another example, talking about a post-breastfeeding reality for many moms: lopsided boobs.
“View from above. I really should have nursed out of both boobs (when I nursed),” Teigen wrote over a Snapchat image she shared with her followers (The post has since expired). In the image, shot from above, Teigen’s left breast looks slightly larger than her right (also, that dress is damn cute).
As Twitter user @Lides_MP, who shared the image on her account, and many other new moms know, a certain amount of breast unevenness is totally normal in new moms. While doctors and breastfeeding experts generally do suggest trying to breastfeed out of both sides when possible, some babies will naturally prefer one side, or one side might produce more milk than the other. The truth is, breastfeeding can be very difficult for many women so new moms often cling to anything—including feedings that focus only on one breast—that helps make the process feel easier. So if you too have one boob that is bigger than the other after breastfeeding, think of it as a badge of honor—and something you can tell people you have in common with a supermodel.
