If you noticed anything unusual about Naya Rivera's latest public appearance, you're not alone. The new mom herself knows full well she was a little "lopsided" at the Vanity Fair Young Hollywood party on Tuesday, February 23.

Take a look at the mother of 5-month-old Josey, in a white, plunging gown:

Posting a similar photo to Instagram, Naya Rivera wrote, "Absolutely loved this @TadashiShoji look tonight for the @VanityFair young Hollywood party! Shout out to my son for the lopsided boobs. LOL #breastfeeding #momlife He is SO worth it."

In a blog post for People published in December the former Glee star opened up about the early days of her breastfeeding journey, writing:

Breastfeeding is like finding out that all of a sudden you can get bacon from your elbow.

Really, it’s a trip.

One minute there’s nothing going on with your perfectly perky boobs and the next a nurse is rolling yellow stuff out of your nipple and putting it in your baby’s mouth. Things like achieving a proper latch, combating engorgement, and practicing different holds soon became my sole priorities. Our bedroom became a haven for all things breast; breast pads, shields, pumps and creams.

At times I started to feel like I was only a tit to Josey and there was many a time I would walk in the door to a crying baby and immediately have to strip and feed.

She went on to add it "wasn’t all bad though, the bond between a mother and baby when you’re breastfeeding is incredible and something no one else shares with your baby."

Two months later it's apparent Naya is still committed to breastfeeding, and I have to say I'm impressed by the way she owned her lopsidedness loud and proud! How unusual to see a celebrity mom wear something so daring while knowing they aren't the typical picture of expected perfection.

I, too, remember being lopsided a few times while breastfeeding, but as best I can recall it was in the early days of nursing when my milk was first coming in. Specifically, I remember being freaked out by how rock-hard one breast was compared to the other, which my son had just fed from.

I can't say I remember being lopsided months into breastfeeding, but I imagine it's yet another one of those things where every person's body grows, shows and reacts differently.

Did you experience being lopsided while breastfeeding? What do you think of Naya showing off her nursing mom cleavage?
