This brave mum is highlighting a rarely discussed side effect of breastfeeding… uneven boobs
Zoe Hendrix has reassured other mums that their bodies are normal with this single post
A NEW mum has shown off her "uneven boobs" on Instagram to highlight a rarely discussed side effect of breastfeeding.
Zoe Hendrix, 27, was praised by other mums after she posted a picture showing her mismatched breasts in a bikini top.
She wrote: "MILK JUGS gone uneven. One of the many joys of breastfeeding. I wondered why I got a few stares at the pool that day😂 🙈awkward! #mymilkshake #bringsallthebabiestotheyard #normalisebreastfeeding."
One mum commented: "“In the same boat right now. Left side could feed all the kids on the street.
"Good luck to us after we finish feeding. Love how you share the real side of motherhood.”
Another said: "Oh yes. And once the milk stops coming they just look like uneven extra skin."
One follower added: "Hahaha!! I literally have a photo exactly the same 😂 I have twins and didn't think my boobs would get uneven coz I feed from both at the same time but noooope! Lopsided titties all the way."
Zoe, who found fame on the Australian version of Married At First Sight, gave birth to her daughter Harper-Rose last November.
She met the little girl's dad, Alex Garner, on the programme, and is one of the show's biggest success stories.
Since Harper's birth, Zoe has avidly documented her breastfeeding journey on social media, explaining that it took her a good few weeks to get the knack of it.
She posted: “I FEED her body and she NOURISHES my soul.

"It took me a good two weeks to get the hang of breastfeeding. Like a new pair of shoes my boobs had to be worn in boot camp style! (Ouch!).
"Both Harper & I had to learn the art of attachment and it wasn't easy. I had days I wanted to give up. Thank god for the nipple shield which was a godsend when I needed in those early days when my nips resembled a crime scene.
"And now when I feed my baby, I marvel at the perfect nourishment my body producers and I am so grateful and honoured I can breastfeed her, especially acknowledging it can be for many a horrible ordeal for a myriad of reasons.
"Our bodies are extraordinary ladies we must never forget or be made to feel we are doing anything but what our breasts were created to do."
Another Aussie mum's breastfeeding wasn't as well received when she used her milk as a 'secret ingredient' in a batch of brownies... and didn't tell punters at a school cake sale.
And this mum hit back after a stranger told her tp "put her f*****g tits away".
